Calcification galore and the enormity of the situation needs to be perhaps graphically shared. Under the city of albany, the capital of new york, which is part of the 20th Congressional District i represent, happens to lie 317 miles of pipe. Drinking water infrastructure. You know, you could travel from albany, new york, to baltimore, maryland, thats the sort of linear responsibility associated with that system. Should we anticipate rightfully, that there may be some bumps along the road of that 317 mile stretch in any given year . Absolutely. Lets think of it in those sorts of terms, so that we can have a better understanding and awareness of an aged infrastructure, which by the way is also accompanied by a discontinued inventory in many cases. Valves that are required are no longer manufactured. And so we have to come up with some innovative response when there is a break.

The white house is supposed to be dedicated to transparency. Reports have been issued months ago that still contains more redactions than it should. I can think of some that wonder why theyre there. Im gratified that we can finally shine light on this dark chapter because among the many lessons we can take from this report is that americans deserve more government transparency. Its essential to a strong democracy. Just yesterday the Senate Unanimously passed a bipartisan bill, the leahycornyn bill, that significantly improves the Free Trade Agreement of information act the freedom of in fact act. I think todays release of this act is another important victory for greater government transparency. So i strongly disagree with those who argue that this report should not come out.
