We only have so much in transportation dollars. It is not driven by how much pork I can bring to my district — it just doesn't work that way on the county level.

If there is a medical need or a transportation need, we want to know before the storm, not after, ... That way we can get people to safety. That is why we are going to have a very active campaign to sign up those with special medical needs.

If you need to be selective about the work at a company, maybe you need to be more selective about the company you work for!

Of course, it's not just about meeting compliance requirements. There are also some dollars we're saving by not having to go through the manual search process.

I supported local projects in the $286 billion transportation bill, even though it was filled with pork (pork barrel projects),

It's not just simply looking at roads in isolation from airlines and rail. There has to be a comprehensive transportation approach and that's the opposite of what we've seen from the Liberals.
