"I want to start with Ms. Bowman. I would like to thank ANGA for supporting S. 1210, which is my bill, the permitting reform bill, that I introduced with Senators Cassidy and Heitkamp last week."
"the stalling out or the length of time of the permitting creating so much uncertainty at a time when we have a critical need for new and improved and expanded infrastructure."
"It is about creating timelines. It is not about running roughshod over any kind of environmental review or anything. It is just trying to move the process along to keep it from stalling out."
"One of the obstacles that I think all of us who live in rural States are combating every day is the lack of high-speed rural broadband access."
"West Virginia has 20 critical access hospitals that each play a vital role in providing emergency healthcare services in their local communities."
"Well, I, certainly, would be very supportive of any kind of way--this could help solve more than just one problem here, if we were able to expand that and use it wisely."
"I think we should be looking at rural health as a way to expand the availability of residencies to fill this gap."
"the proposed rule is clearly on shaky grounds"
"That response is unacceptable to me and to the people of my State."
"I will not stand by and let the EPA force States to spend their resources in a manner that will harm local economies."
"This rule will have a devastating impact on our State, other coal producing States, electricity rate payers across the country and the reliability of our grid."
