Andrew P. Hunter said "I support him in his efforts to inject some common sense into this arbitrary application of law that defies science. The best scientists in the world have supported our situation in San Diego, where they say nature takes care of this; you do not have to spend $2 billion, EPA, we can spend it somewhere else where we desperately need it. Science also supports the gentleman from Long Beach. The point is, the gentleman says this opens the door. Let me say to my friend from New Jersey, the door should always be open to reason, common sense, and science. That is precisely what we are injecting in this argument today. With all the programs, good programs, that must take reductions because of the deficit problem, the idea that you do not use common sense to reduce spending where it does not have to be done makes no sense. So I support the gentleman." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
