We must begin to get back to putting America first, and that is investing in our physical plant, our infrastructure, which will ensure long-term growth.

The Clean Power Plan does none of this, in my opinion. Instead, we have an EPA dictating to the States and effectively micro-managing interstate electricity policy decisions.

The heavy congestion, wear and tear on roads, and insufficient investment is hurting New Jersey families.

This rule will have a devastating impact on our State, other coal-producing States, electricity ratepayers across the Country, and the reliability of our grid.

there has to be a real incentive and culture of trust for whistleblowers so they feel like they can come forward.

In my State, this past April the Office of Special Counsel released a report that substantiated a whistleblower's allegation.

At risk is the ability the States have always had to make the decision about their electricity generation.

Not a whole lot is done with the reports. That is the problem that we are talking about.

I have heard that many times. Like you, I am also troubled by these problems.

Also, improve information sharing.

If we change the culture of what we prescribe and how we prescribe it, I think we can make a tremendous change.

the proposed rule is clearly on shaky grounds

This proposal is legally unsound, and comes with a $479 billion compliance cost, will result in double digit electricity price increases in 43 States and has negligible environmental benefits.

This rule will have a devastating impact on our State, other coal producing States, electricity rate payers across the country and the reliability of our grid.

I will not stand by and let the EPA force States to spend their resources in a manner that will harm local economies.

That response is unacceptable to me and to the people of my State.

The way I am understanding where it is coming from, is coming from the executive, administrative branch.

I fully support President Obama's initiative to end homelessness among veterans.
