Rob Portman actually said...

"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."

"The system, as we have heard from our constituents constantly, takes too long. It is complicated, sometimes very bureaucratic."

"Let me just be specific. You talked about $6 million, roughly, in the budgets this year."

"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."
