Thomas R. Carper: “I know we can't pass laws to tell water how to flow.”

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

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.

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.

I felt forever that there's actually revenues opportunities for the Postal Service through vote by mail.
