Tom Carper: “Let me note that the safety of the American public and of our staff is of paramount concern to me during this process.”

We help make the rules for the country, and we do not do this by ourselves.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.
