"It is important to note that the $27.5 billion for highways in stimulus is no way a substitute for the hundreds of billions needed to address our Nation's infrastructure crisis."

"We cannot walk away from it because we would be walking away from the future."

"This level of funding for highways in an economic stimulus bill is unacceptable, as it largely ignores the immediate job creation and economic growth associated with infrastructure investment."
