“Another way we are working in the House to help create jobs is with a good roads program, good infrastructure. Not everybody wants to live in the city, and yet we all have to kind of go to the city eventually. Maybe it is for a particular hospital operation, maybe just to buy something, maybe for entertainment, maybe for a job; but if you can have good roads that connect small towns to the large city, it is good for the economy in both places. I represent the Port of Savannah and actually all of coastal Georgia, but I also have rural areas. I have 29 different counties in the first district that I have the honor of representing. One of the things I want to do and the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Burns) wants to do is get a way so that the producer of Vidalia onions can get it overseas faster. Agriculture right now, so much of our market is a matter of overseas. I think this roads transportation program incentive for alternative uses like bicycles and electric cars, I think all that is going to help creates jobs, too. In Atlanta right now there is a project called Atlantic Station.”
