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.

Well, there is a good compromise out there, and I think if we are smart and don't give up today, we will find it.

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