Rob Portman actually said...

"I think the Obama Administration was slow to get it started. I think the Trump Administration has not been aggressive enough in permitting a permitting reform executive director to be permanent."

"I want to express our sincere appreciation to Senator Portman for his support of our projects as well as his leadership in pursuing balanced permitting reform."

"We look forward to, once again, under the leadership of Senator Murkowski, getting some legislation to the President's desk."

"It is time for us to get it up and going and people are excited about it."
