Thomas R. Carper: “We have a special concern about the climate changes driving sea level rise, land subsidence, and flooding in our State…”

People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

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.

We help make the rules for the country, and we do not do this by ourselves.

I hope is that the issues we just discussed... we can keep at it today and see if we can't find a way to yes.
