BLOOMFIELD, NJ — President Joe Biden has signed a $1.5 trillion federal omnibus spending bill, and it contains $255,000 for a crucial water infrastructure project in Bloomfield, officials said.

Democrats and Republicans both scored political victories in the spending bill. Democrats were able to secure an agreement to increase domestic spending by 6.7 percent to $730 billion, while Republicans prevailed in a 5.6 percent increase in defense-related spending at $782 billion.
