Thomas R. Carper: “John McCain really spearheaded what is called the Rio Reimagined Initiative in Phoenix.”

I think that's really disgraceful, and it's unacceptable that the local DC courts have vacancies that last years because the Senate fails to act in a timely way.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

I think the greatest way that the Commission can have an impact on that is probably through our rate-making authority.

We need to reform it.
