But don't pretend like this debate tonight has anything to do with Asheville, NC, a town that just got drinking water 2 days ago. You want to argue this, don't argue it on the merits of something that you objected to me trying to accomplish last week for the city of Asheville. I yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Kentucky.
