Political Quotes

“It has been the position at least of this body by its formal actions to expand the authority to what is known as a superwaiver. That is controversial, and I am not sure there is certainly not an agreement on a bipartisan basis for a superwaiver; however, the superwaiver sort of consumes the individual State waivers. It is certainly the position of the majority of this House on both sides of the aisle that the States have at least the waiver authorities that they had under the expiring TANF laws. I will be glad to yield to the gentlewoman from Connecticut, but I am not certain that there is an agreement right now as to individual State waivers as compared to broader authority. I can tell the position that I would like to see is individual States, but I understand there is no consensus yet on that issue.”
