Barbara Boxer actually said...

"If they don't see from Hurricane Sandy... then I am very disturbed for our children and our grandchildren."

"Thank you for holding this hearing, and I look forward to working with the Senate and the House bipartisan group to get the right response to this storm."

"We must not simply replace the structures damaged by Sandy. We have to build resilient infrastructure to withstand tomorrow's superstorms."

"We can't rebuild the way it was built before. That is just a waste of money. We have to prevent the damage in the future."
