Chris Hollen actually said...

"Ladies and gentlemen, I wake up every morning--as I know Senator Cardin and Senator Van Hollen do--thinking about how can we best serve our constituents and help them improve their lives."

"Look, in my view, as a country and as a world, we should have been working much harder way back to try to put the brakes on the damages of climate change."

"Now we have a piece of legislation that wants to take away authority from States when it comes to making some of these decisions."

"As I read this, it would also take away the authority of a State to tie permitting for a dam project, for example, to the impact on sediment flows."
