Thomas R. Carper: “I am a firm believer, I know you are as well, in something called the Golden Rule.”

People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

We are delighted to be able to move the legislation today.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

You and our colleagues have heard me invoke in this room more times than I can count the Golden Rule: Treat other people the way I want to be treated.
