We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.
Last year, the Environment and Public Works Committee held, I think, not one, but a couple of hearings on permitting, common theme at our hearings, on the importance of public engagement.
I think that's really disgraceful, and it's unacceptable that the local DC courts have vacancies that last years because the Senate fails to act in a timely way.
I think the greatest way that the Commission can have an impact on that is probably through our rate-making authority.
