Thomas R. Carper: “I worry that we are getting to the place where unless some real hands on leadership takes place, we are going to see…”

I usually default to the golden rule, and I think in this case it's a pretty good guide as well.

We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.

Last year, the Environment and Public Works Committee held, I think, not one, but a couple of hearings on permitting, common theme at our hearings, on the importance of public engagement.

I think that's disgraceful.
