Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.
I usually default to the golden rule, and I think in this case it's a pretty good guide as well.
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.
We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.
