"What do we do now to make sure--and is there a path to do it?"

"We are witnessing the death of democracy."

"Unfortunately, many of the reforms that we are discussing today would cut out these very important voices of my constituents, the ones that need NEPA the most, potentially."

"One of the greatest things about NEPA, in my opinion, is that it gives ordinary Americans a tool to weigh in on projects that can affect them, environmentally, economically, and culturally."
