Edward Markey actually said...

"I introduced the Clear Drinking Water Act, which would authorize more than $1 billion in Federal grants to help small and disadvantaged communities replace contaminated water infrastructure."

"$200 billion simply is not $1.5 trillion."

"Low-cost Federal loan programs are one important tool in our infrastructure toolbox that can help us modernize our Nation's roads and rail and water infrastructure."

"I think this is the Committee that should be realistic, that we should be practical."
