Thomas R. Carper: “For too long, the seats have not been filled, and not been filled properly.”

Last year, the Environment and Public Works Committee held, I think, not one, but a couple of hearings on permitting, common theme at our hearings, on the importance of public engagement.

I want to thank our members for being here today.

For too long, the seats have not been filled, and not been filled properly.

I think the greatest way that the Commission can have an impact on that is probably through our rate-making authority.
