"I am deeply concerned that this recent DOT rule... threatens to disrupt important transportation projects in Illinois and throughout all of the Midwest."

"The application of this rule will slow down the delivery of important transportation projects nationwide."

"These entrepreneurs are especially vital in areas such as rural Illinois because they do hire local people to work on their contracts."
