Thomas R. Carper: “Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation…”

Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.

I think that's disgraceful.

Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this.
