Timothy H. Bishop: “We have met the enemy, and it is us”

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.

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.

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.
