Yield my time. You. Lets hear from the next caller, please. Hello caller, are you with us . Ladies and gentlemen of the board, good evening. I stand before you today to discuss a issue that effects each and every resident of our community. The state of our Public Transit system. As our cities grow, so does the need for reliable efficient and sustainable transit network. Lets talk about accessible. Currently many areas are under served by Public Transit forcing to rely on personal vehicles. This not exacerbates transferic but also limits opportunity for those who cannot afford a car. We must expand our bus and train routes to reach these areas and offer more frequent service, especially during peak hours. Secondly, affordability is a concern. High fares discourage from using Public Transit. I propose we explore options for subsidized fares for low income families, student, senior and most importantly immigrants.

Its been about two weeks since we saw not only intraday highs, but even backtoback gains on the dow and s p. Technology is in the lead with some familiar names dom pointed to paypal, chip makers, technology stocks. The best performing sector of the year continues to plow this market forward deals are also a big theme, and the question this morning is how many of them are going to get blocked. 200 billion worth of deal this is month, according to deal logic. That is actually a record high for the month, and a lot of it they paint in the backdrop of amazons, facebooks, and googles, john, just getting bigger and disrupting industries and leaving companies figuring out the next step. Meanwhile, this big re
Epa administrator, scott pruitt, testifying on his priorities at the epa, and youre watching live coverage here on cspan3. These issues we want to do all we can to eliminate those things so we dont have those kind of sites across the country, absolutely. Well, and youre your rush to eliminate regulations, thats exactly what youre doing, is creating opportunity for new superfund sites to be created. I wouldnt interpret it that way, congressman. The gentlemans time has expired. The chair will recognize the gentleman from North Carolina, mr. Hudson, for five minutes. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you, mr. Administrator, for making the extra effort to come back and take all of our questions. And thank you for your strong leadership at the agency. I appreciate also that your efforts to make the epa focus on air and water and soil contamination. My state of North Carolina has been shaken by a discovery of a chemical called generation x.

Staff to get the senate doors closed, and other members can go on the staff . Someone . The subcommittee will come to order. When we recessed it was mr. Mckinleys turn to be recognized, so with that, i want to recognize the gentleman from West Virginia for five minutes. Thank you, mr.

Weve skdz asked your predecessors to come, particularly relating to section 321a. To see the impact some of the regulations were having in the coal fields, and they declined to do that.

At this time the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas, mr. Flores. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Ms. Mccabe, thank you for joining us today. How does the market price risk . If you know something and you know what the cost is of something, it has a price. You know that price. But if you dont know something, then the price is higher because you have risk, right . Um yes, okay. In 2010 the epa, when they proposed going to 60 parts per billion, said that that would cost 90 billion. Cost the economy 90 billion. In 2014, you reduced it to 40 billion.
