mulvaney, along with 14 co-sponsors. seven democrats and seven republicans. our bipartisan proposal rejects the partisan approach before us today and -- in favor of a true bipartisan compromise that all members should be able to get behind. my constituents sent me to congress with the expectation i would be willing to work with anyone with a good idea. it shouldn't matter what party you have behind your name. traveling up and down my district, i hear the same thing from all of my constituents, whether they're republican, democrat, tea party alike. they get that there can be a cost to protecting the environment. but in my district, in the treasure coast and palm beach, they also know that having clean water is probably worth it. you know, they also get that there can be a cost to protecting workers and workplace safety but many of them have had the same workers for many, many years, if not decades, and they know that the safety of their employees is also probably worth it system of what frustrates, i think, those constituents the most and those business owners
