John Sarbanes: “Be a present American. Be engaged, be active, and stand up”

The health of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed can only continue to improve through robust Federal, state, and local partnerships.

I hope that today's hearing is the first step in continuing that legacy of strong bipartisan support for the Chesapeake Bay in this Congress.

It's a national environmental treasure. It's a regional economic engine. It's been one of my top priorities since I've come to Congress.

Each of which--each of which--would hamper EPA's ability to regulate air pollution and, unfortunately, continues this Republican agenda of putting Big Oil interests over the interests of the public.
