Debbie Stabenow actually said...

"Thank you for joining us in a very tragic situation with the Kalamazoo River with the oil spill."

"It took a while but we came up with something that made sense and it was science-based and it was something in the end that was embraced by everyone to go forward."

"I have concerns about what appears to be gray areas here in this permitting process."

"I would urge you to really take the time necessary to bring all parties to the table to work out a balanced approach going forward on this."
