Ann Kirkpatrick: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing today.”

I agree with you that the reclamation can do much more for the Tribes.

My home state of Arizona is the second fastest growing state in the country with massive population growth and development in some parts of the state.

So we have large swaths of land, Tribal land, especially in northern Arizona, that the power lines run right over their Tribal land and that they are not attached to the grid.

Ranching is hard enough as it is, in the best of circumstances, so thank you for staying with it, and for what you do.
