James Inhofe actually said...

"I recently released a report exposing the high cost of the EPA's water regulations and the impacts on State and local government."

"I appreciate the Committee's broad approach to the extremely complex and difficult topic of nutrient pollution."

"I hope we can learn from these expensive, heavy-handed approaches and find ways to support States in developing scientifically sound management approaches."

"States need room to innovate and respond to local water quality needs. So a one size fits all solution to nitrogen and phosphorus pollution is neither desirable nor necessary."
