Thomas R. Carper: “One of the things we try to do on this Committee is we want to get good stuff done for our planet, for our environment.”

We need to reform it.

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.

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.

Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.
