The citizens who spoke out about stream quality have contributed greatly to this debate. The Wise administration has met its responsibility to provide leadership on this issue. The Legislature has acted with good faith, with due deliberation and with the best interests of all the citizens in mind. None of us achieved exactly what we would have preferred - but for once, we have achieved a result that we can all live with. I see this as a victory for the entire state.
