the beauty of NEPA is that it is already modern and it is already flexible.

NEPA has helped make that economic development more sustainable, more just, and less wasteful.

I find it curious in some of the comments that by inviting public input we somehow limit other public input.

Blaming NEPA for uncovering bad projects is like blaming a tumor on the x-ray that discovered it.

NEPA simply requires Federal agencies to take a 'hard look' at the potential environmental impacts of projects they undertake or permit.

If the Oversight Board's proposals... are adopted... they would effectively undermine the government's disaster recovery efforts.

I don't think it's too much to ask to make sure Americans are safe before trying to expand Federal power over them.

The silence by my Republican colleagues about the performance of the President and his Administration in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands is an endorsement of it.

It should have dealt with the great needs that the people there have, how we respond to the disaster.

In the wake of Hurricane Maria, advocates in Puerto Rico and for Puerto Rico are making the case that that devastation means that the 79 percent should be taken up all the way to possibly full debt cancellation.

Our response to human suffering has to be about food, shelter, and water first, not deregulation or politics.

The American people in Puerto Rico are counting on us to help rebuild the island, starting with the basics.
