As we already heard this morning from Senator Nelson, our economy is really driven by tourism and a healthy environment is paramount to a good economy in Florida.
It is this Senator's understanding that they are taking that out, and pursuant to the clear legislative intent, that seems to be a step in the right direction.
It is the RESTORE Act that provides hope to state and local governments and the constituents they serve along the entire Gulf Coast.
Treasury, please understand the impatience of the Senators on this panel who have been responsible in passing this Act.
Your continued inquiry is one of our most powerful tools in ensuring that we harvest all that you intended through the RESTORE Act.
The beautiful environment in the Gulf Coast and the vibrant economy go hand in hand.
