Grace Napolitano: “I am honored to share with you all my priorities as the committee considers reauthorization of the 2022 Water Resources…”

Each day that passes absent clarity by the Federal government on Sackett compliance is one more day that business and the environment are at risk.

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.

I believe this bill will restore the minimum levels of protections struck down by the conservative Supreme Court.

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