U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) introduced Susan Bodine at an EPW subcommittee hearing today entitled Implementation of the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act: Stakeholders’ Needs and Experiences.
Bodine is a lawyer with more than 30 years of experience in the executive and legislative branches of government and in private practice. She is currently a partner at Earth and Water Law, LLC.
Remarks:
Susan served as the chief counsel on this committee when I was the chairman in 2015 and 2016.
She helped us enact the 2015 Highway Bill, the 2016 Water Resources Bill, the Frank Lautenberg Chemical Reform Bill and 65 other bipartisan laws coming from this committee in only two years.
But Susan has a longer history with me than that.
During the Bush Administration, she was EPA’s Assistant Administrator over the Superfund Program.
She went above and beyond directing EPA to not only visit the infamous Tar Creek Superfund site in northeastern Oklahoma, but also work to clean up the water and land.
She also worked with me to write new legislation that helped the residents there.
Susan, I can’t thank you enough for your years of work in the House and Senate and at the EPA during the Bush and Trump administrations where you made sure EPA was serving instead of ruling over Oklahoman and American taxpayers.
