Timothy H. Bishop: “The benefits of clean water... can't be shouldered by individual communities.”

The other path would call for tough choices but would recognize that wise investments in our Nation's infrastructure and our communities will have lasting rewards.

Our former Senator from the State of New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said everyone is entitled to his own opinions, but not his own facts.

One path would place fiscal austerity over all other priorities and would have a significant and adverse impact on our communities, our local economies, and our industries.

I am extremely concerned that this administration is once again trying to do an end-around Congress to expand Federal power under the Clean Water Act.
