Grace Napolitano: “So you do not have enough budget to be able to carry out the needs.”

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

To me, the answer is clear. We should recognize the familiarity and workability of the historic Clean Water Act.

I believe the Supreme Court purposely chose to substitute its own philosophy over decades-old, legally grounded efforts to protect water quality.

In my view, we get lost on questions of who is best suited to protect our water resources, rather than talking about the importance of rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands for current and future needs.
