Bill Nelson actually said...

"may we insert into the Committee record letters that we have received from Floridians, which will document the extent that the harmful algae blooms have suddenly enveloped Florida into a green slime"

"Florida is facing an environmental and economic harm, where toxic algae is coating--it's coating both coasts."

"It's not a partisan issue. That bill that you talked about, that I introduced a year ago, we passed it."

"We applaud the Committee's willingness to take on this important issue, and ask Congress to provide assistance to our state agencies and local governments in their clean-up and recovery efforts."
