I firmly believe that consumers have the right to make informed decisions about the food they eat.

I am not convinced that H.R. 1599 will assure consumers that they have the reliable and clear information that they are looking for.

This restrictive process is not how these issues should be resolved.

So there would be no further opportunity for any local appeals to be considered.

Prepared statement on H.R. 1157

If H.R. 1157 were enacted, how would it impact the consideration of the pending Camp 4 appeals?

These are issues best resolved by county and municipal officials in consultation with local residents and the Tribe.

I strongly oppose H.R. 1157. I urge you not to advance this bill, and I yield back the remainder of my time.

This is ultimately about local housing, zoning, and land use.

This diversity of opinion on this local issue cannot fully be represented accurately in this setting.

The bill is unnecessary because Camp 4 has already been taken into trust.

The BIA fee-to-trust is far from perfect, but it at least does allow for all interested parties to participate.
