I look forward to working with you to include Vermont's priorities in your bill and stand ready to assist you in any way I can to ensure its expeditious enactment.

I pledge to work with you to identify and pass a sustainable federal revenue source.

Let's invest in water infrastructure.

Local governments are ill-equipped to take on stormwater, wastewater, and drinking water upgrades necessary to ensure our water is safe to drink.

It is a disgrace, what has happened to our infrastructure in this country. And it is going to be up to this Congress to finally address it.

Federal funding must be provided to help ensure that our infrastructure is resilient to withstand increasingly powerful weather events.

Increasing funding to this and other discretionary programs will allow Vermont to take on more highway, bridge, bike and pedestrian projects.

Long overdue investments in infrastructure require a stable and reliable federal funding source.

You are the tip of the spear for us in Congress.

We have to have more resilient systems, and that has to be organically ingrained in the legislation.

We want full funding of the Airport Improvement Program.

We want funding for programs like the consolidated rail infrastructure and safety improvement bill.

It is vital that Congress enact a robust and fully funded infrastructure investment package.

We have received $4 million annually from the program, which is three times less than what we need.

We are going to have to have a sustainable funding source, and I will support that.

I support the draft update of H.R. 299. I hope it passes the House without delay.

I just--I can't--I don't think that this Committee or this country can tolerate any more delays since we have got a clear direction from the Court now.

I do not remember in my lifetime a better time for a young person to graduate from school with skills.
