Marco Rubio: “Well, again, and I do not want to put something--I am not committing to something, because I have not thought about it…”

On the recordJuly 10, 2011
Well, again, and I do not want to put something--I am not committing to something, because I have not thought about it, we have not thought about all the implications, I have not talked to anybody about this yet, but one of the things we can consider is whether, if a bill moves forward, as I anticipate it will, with regards to the fines under the Clean Water Act, whether this claims process will be pulled into that legislation and somehow some mechanism be made a part of that legislation that helps close out the rest of these cases that are out there and prevents exactly what it is you are concerned about, which is the money being reabsorbed by the company.
