Too often these days we have let the rhetoric surrounding controversial issues overtake the reality.
The second trend highlighted at this morning's hearing focuses back on the Congress and how the Federal Government has stopped making significant Federal investments in improving our Nation's water quality.
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.
We do want a rule that restricts the scope of authority under EPA, based on the Supreme Court rulings that both have said that their scope is not unlimited.
