Political Quotes

“I wish to start by congratulating my colleague from Wyoming on reporting out this legislation on water infrastructure and, particularly, for the help he has given us with regard to the Great Lakes. What the Senator has done to help us to maintain and to protect the Great Lakes is very much appreciated. It is the No. 1 tourist destination in Ohio, and there is a $6 billion fishing industry in the Great Lakes, with Lake Erie being the No. 1 lake for fishing. The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative the Senator supported is incredibly important, as well as keeping the dredge material out of the lake and helping us with the Army Corps. We thank the Senator. We also hope to keep invasive species out of the lake, including bighead carp, which would ruin that $6 billion fishing industry. We thank the Senator for his support. We look forward to getting that bill to the floor soon for a vote.”
