I think it'd be very good if you could tell the American people why it's important that this past use not be a disqualification to serve you...
My concern is that we're not seeing the urgency that is necessary, because we all know what the challenge is, and that's foot dragging by so...

I'm the author of that legislation with Senator Crapo, so we could end finally this disgrace of fire borrowing.
The Fire Funding Fix made a tremendous difference, and I could not agree more.
We stopped it. We said the biggest fires are now basically going to be treated as the disasters they are.
Senator Whitehouse was always out there making the case.
We made the biggest investment in climate change in American history last year.
These restrictive zoning laws can hurt local economies--and what is even worse, they often amount to a back-door method of segregation.
Senator Wyden has very well described those efforts.
obviously, as he indicated, our chair, Senator Wyden, has introduced the Decent, Affordable, and Safe Housing for All (or DASH) Act.
We strongly urge all members of the committee to support this change.
The DASH Act would protect taxpayers' investment in Housing Credit properties by combating two threats to long-term affordability.
Again, Senator Wyden has been a leader in rectifying this problem.
We urge Congress to enact the Middle-Income Housing Tax Credit (MIHTC) that Senate Finance Committee Chair Wyden introduced last Congress.
