I just would respectfully suggest that our colleagues who do not want to wear masks...ask their colleagues who have not gotten vaccinated to get the vaccine.

Thank you very much. If you can keep us posted on that.

We do not intend to go final with a record of decision for LOSOM until October of 2022.

My stakeholders here believe that Alternative BB is the only plan that actually improves the water supply to a pre-LORS 2008 level of service.

I am assuming you are going to consider President Biden's executive order on the environmental justice.

That President Biden had an executive order on environmental justice, that they were told that that order came after the LOSOM study so that wouldn't be considered.

They were told first of all that the purpose of repairing the dike was not to hold more water, but to just guard against floods.

Well, Madam Chair, if we could get that information from the Army Corps, that would be much more satisfactory to get you money for that than to threaten our water supply.

I want to stress that it is very important that this not become political.

And what do you say to folks who say, hey, look, you know, regardless of what we do here in the United States, you know, look what is happening in China, other places in the world, what difference is it going to make?

That shouldn't negate the role of policy, because that is really the big driver of reducing our CO2 emissions

To really get to our goals of reducing the carbon, there is going to have to be, you know, millions of electrical vehicles

It has got to be all. It is a shotgun, not a silver bullet.

I believe that women's work should be--they should be paid their fair wages.

I love the President's Family and Job Plan, but I read a study that said that traditional infrastructure jobs are mostly filled by men.

We need more support services and social services to assist in the field.

This calls for, Madam Chair, increased appropriations for this training linking mental health services with our law enforcement.

I just want to urge you, in your conversations with the President and the Vice President and others, that you not only advocate for the inclusion of women in traditional infrastructure jobs, but really emphasize the importance of investing…

Let's stop calling, truthfully, one a Jobs Plan and one a family plan, because what I see in the family plan, what I expect is a Jobs Plan.

I think this is important--is that you analyze the so-called Jobs Plan how many women you believe are going to get back into the workforce with that plan versus the family plan.

Parents can't go back to work if we don't have childcare.

What is concerning to me is that he talks about them as two separate plans because I think it is very important that we get people back to work.

I think our President is the right person, you know, to get us moving forward. I love his plans, his job plan.

Is AACC undertaking any efforts to improve the transfer process for students, particularly disadvantaged students?

The type of birth control that a woman uses should be her decision, not her employer's.
