Political Quotes

On the recordJune 7, 2016
I say to the States: You are free to act with a bad EPA. Compared to where we started, we have a much better balance between the States and the Federal Government. It is not perfect. The bills I worked on with Frank did not do this. They did not preempt the States. But because of this challenging journey, we respected each other on both sides, we listened to each other on both sides, and today is a day we can feel good about. We have a decent bill, a Federal program, and the States will have a lot of latitude to act. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Louisiana.
