We have to provide resources to the Coast Guard so they can mitigate the effects of climate change in their operational planning.
This was purposely done so federal funding would be directed to frontline workers for our pay and benefits and to prevent growing inequality.
I think we can be very proud of what we have accomplished, and in good part, generated by this committee.
