Today's hearing gives us an opportunity to look at a new and evolving technological development.
Frank Pallone
The Public Record
Frank Joseph Pallone is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for New Jersey's 6th congressional district since 1993. A member of the Democratic Party, Pallone has been a prominent advocate for health care reform, environmental protection, and consumer rights. He has played a key role in shaping legislation related to public health and climate change, often speaking out against policies he views as detrimental to these areas.
I would like to see us go back to a tradition, process, whatever it was, that we have at least a week prior to a legislative hearing.
I actually introduced today the Small Business Access to Spectrum Act to update the FCC's rules.
I have yet to hear a convincing explanation for why this legislation is a good idea.
I just think this agency is too important to play these types of games with its funding.
If you are going to do that, then we need to have more time than just the 48 hours that occurred here today.
I have to take issue with Chairman Burgess' opening remarks and repeat my longstanding belief that having some Democratic support does not make a measure bipartisan.
this bill is an unwarranted and dangerous detour that guts the new EPA rule and permanently removes critical public health safeguards.
the requirements in Representative McKinley's bill are not the same, not nearly the same, as the requirements in the EPA rule.
EPA's final rule published online in December set Federal floor standards for the safe disposal of coal ash for the first time, and the rule has been decades in the making.
This bill absolutely undermines the Federal floor and does not, and I have to repeat, does not incorporate the standards in EPA's rule.
