Senator Tester took to the Senate floor to stand up for funding for an emergency operations center in Whitefish. Following Tester's action, an amendment to strip money from the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill failed 36 to 59. As a member of the influential Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, Tester included $900,000 in the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill to help fund the $8.8 million project in Whitefish. The remainder of the project is being financed through local bonds.
