I hear the gentleman's concerns, and I understand that most of the power in this subject matter is vested with the States. But the fact is there are real problems in some of our States that are not being addressed and that aren't being handled in the State capitols. This position is a nonbinding one, one where folks in the States would have to come and voluntarily seek out a dispute resolution. This person wouldn't have any power to make decisions for the States or override any decisions. I understand the wariness among many here in this Chamber of the role of the Federal Government.
