Just to be clear about its role, here are some of the activities the board pursues: ways to lower the cost of environmental protection; remove financial and programmatic barriers that raise costs; increase public and private contributions in environmental facilities and services; and build State and local financial ability to meet environmental laws. This mission is critical if we want to ensure that the investments we need to protect our country from climate change are sound and achievable. Mr. Chair, I oppose this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
