But they are saying, why didn't you do this? Why wouldn't you have already been doing this?
The spill should have never have happened. There is no excuse for it.
Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for the monetary damages incurred from this incident or any other chemical spill.
I think all of this needs to be done to restore confidence.
I thank you all, and let's work together to get this done.
Why should we be relying on them for any information?
Do you agree that we should have long-term monitoring in the valley here for the people in the affected areas?
I find that extremely telling.
Their decision not to testify today compounds its gross misconduct, and it is an absolute affront to every person impacted by the spill.
We need to learn from West Virginia and American Water when it learned of Freedom's spill.
I will be introducing the Ensuring Access to Clean Water Act when I return to Washington this evening.
