Timothy H. Bishop: “The successes and failures of the Clean Water Act are both expressed in two simple statements of fact.”

Too often these days we have let the rhetoric surrounding controversial issues overtake the reality.

However, I am troubled by the tone taken by this Congress in carrying out its oversight activities of the current administration.

Those property values are what they are, and those builders are as successful as they are because of our efforts to protect and preserve the environment.

I hope we can all agree that is a good thing, and I hope we can also all agree that that improvement would not have happened were it not for the Clean Water Act.
