Dan Benishek: “Are you aware of the number of inpatient beds there are in the VA system for inpatient treatment of military sexual…”

Congress wrote the Clean Water Act specifically to allow States to assume Clean Water Act section 404 permitting authority in place of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the EPA.

There should be a long-term management of this with a regular board, just like proposed for the VA.

Frankly, Mrs. Noem was right, this sounds very much like the VA, you know, government-run healthcare. Sometimes it does not work.

I want to thank Mrs. Noem for bringing this to my attention. I, frankly, was not aware of the severity of the problem.
