Just count me as one person who thinks this is essential, because what a nightmare we have had.

We need to get out in front, not whisper in the ears of people, because the people don't want to hear the bad news.

We are holding this field hearing to do oversight into this catastrophe that the EPA has caused.

Vast majority support your work and, sadly, vast majority think that we are not doing our jobs or not doing it well.

It is important that EPA continue to focus on combatting dangerous climate change, which is happening all around us.

I think it is the role of EPA to get ahead of these kinds of crises; not to whisper in the ears of the State, but to yell in the ears of the State when we know facts.

My State just experienced a massive natural gas leak at Aliso Canyon that released 96,000 metric tons of methane into the atmosphere.

That is murder by any other definition. That is a felony, because we know what lead does; it is not a great mystery.

when you cleanup the environment, you boost the economy for so many reasons.

If you can't breathe, you can't work.

EPA's work implementing our Nation's landmark laws to address clean air, children's health, safe drinking water, toxics, and water quality in America's lakes and rivers is essential for public health and safety.

I would hope to see EPA fighting for a budget that meets the needs of the people.
