What is your opinion on the Citizens United Supreme Ct. case? What, if anything, would you do as a Congressman to address the issue of the lobbyists influence in Washington?

I work in construction which had seen a huge change in how we deal with erosion over the last 20 years. It went from “what’s erosion control?” To a one year project on a 50 ac site spending up to $50,000 just on erosion control and a lot of plastic waste at the end (silt fence, temp piping, check dams, flocculant treated flumes etc.) Do you think it would be a better allocation of resources to just levy an erosion tax on construction projects, dial back the requirements and then put that money towards long term permanent mitigation solutions?

All of the things listed here are important but most rely on philanthropy. So it may be more beneficial to maximize your income and donate a portion to groups who do these things. Who could have a bigger impact on the Chesapeake, the worlds best environmental lawyer or Jeff Bezos?
