Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 31, 2012
In reclaiming my time, there is an agenda that is being sold here. In testimony we had before the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, which I happen to serve on, we talked to our former colleague about this administration's vision of the world it wants us to live in. It wants us all to live in high-rise apartments and to take public transportation. They will tell you straight out that's the future of America--concentrate. There have been at least some in the administration who have said the days of the two-story home in the suburbs are over. I don't know if America knows that. This is a perfect example of part of the plan to drive us out of the suburbs and into concentrated populations where the only solution is public transportation. Quite honestly, where I live, that's not going to be very popular.
