Don't expect the federal government to come in and you know, bail you out.

It seems to me that the overall question we ought to be asking is with limited resources, and we have limited resources, what's the best way to spend them?

I am always in favor of self-governance and using 638 compacting when appropriate.

I believe it is time for USDA to help move 638 contracting in a new direction within Indian agriculture.

Our commitment to tribal self-determination must be unwavering.

I believe the Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act has been one of the most successful policy initiatives in Indian Country to date.

No one can deny that 638 has been a gold standard within Indian Country.

So that is a huge vulnerability, I guess what I'm arguing with limited resources, I would much rather see us spend $60 to $90 billion to purchase those now, put those in place offline in case you have one of those high catastrophic events…

This is no longer a republican issue, and I'm almost surprised in many ways that republicans pitch permitting reform, as it should be coming from the other side.

If it's going to be spent to mitigate climate change, I would argue it's probably going to be misspent because I don't think there's anything we can really do to hold back the tides.

I would be in full support.
