Grace Napolitano: “I appreciate your calling attention to the importance of this Nation's maritime transportation network.”

We should recognize the familiarity and workability of the historic Clean Water Act and get on with the preservation of the health of our economy as well as that of our communities.

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.

Clean water was not always a partisan issue, and no issue has more support among American families than the protection of our nation's waters.

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.
