I have said this from coming onto this committee, that Utah does it right. We collaborate. We are innovative.

The State legislature continues to make historic investments into transit, this year alone putting $400 million into our FrontRunner double-tracking effort.

Utah's Transit Authority does not run a budget deficit. Ridership is up 92 percent of pre-pandemic levels.

My home State of Utah has a remarkable story to share with other States and, more importantly, the Federal Government.

Thank you, Chair and Ranking Member and our witnesses here today, for taking time to hold today's hearing to highlight the delusion of the Biden administration's at-any-cost approach on electrification of our grid.

Nothing has been more apparent with this tactic than the $18 billion taxpayer funding of a mandated industry that America's private citizens and business owners do not want to be forced down their throats.

For almost 60 years, Americans have been driven by fear perpetuated by our climate theorists, authors, climate absolutes, and climate change activists, all who consider themselves experts.

Our answer to this, not a dollar more until we figure this out.

The Biden NLRB is the most activism, pro-union, government agency in history.

At its core college sports is about enhancing the student-athletes' academic experience, and molding our young people into productive citizens.

In no world should a scholarship athlete be considered an employee for playing basketball.
