Pete Stauber actually said...

every household matters, whether you are in Grand Marais, Baudette, Minnesota, or Willmar, Minnesota, rural areas, they matter.

do not forget about us. Our rural hospitals, our rural schools are just as important, and we need to protect that.

Proposed mines such as PolyMet and Twin Metals are on the table now and trying to get permitted.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, for holding this timely hearing on an important issue which is our Nation's infrastructure.
