Raúl Grijalva actually said...

"Unfortunately, it appears from the Majority's memo for this hearing, that the focus today is not going to be on the very real problem of abandoned mines."

"I am ecstatic that the Majority is actually taking on environmental concerns."

"the hundreds of thousands of abandoned mines that are leaking billions of gallons of toxic wastewater into streams and rivers across the country."

"There is no way to clean these sites without requiring the mining industry to contribute to the legacy they created."
