From the transcript
It's been described that way in so many conversations. It's been described that way by many supporting it in our communities, but I just want to be clear that in my mind, this legislation is not what determines whether or not this project has a green light and the developer moves forward. With developing. But what this bill means to me today, Mr. Speaker, and what passing this legislation ultimately is to me, is about ensuring those protections for our communities and still maximizing the opportunity that this pipeline could bring for this, for this entire state. A couple provisions in the bill I'm really strongly proud to support are the cost overrun language legislation that's included here, the description about project labor agreements and the work that's happened with the labor community across the state.
