"There's been some publicity about a letter that Senator Ayotte and I wrote to you on February 20, 2014."
"Bipartisanship is breaking out all over in the Congress. It continues today and as we debate Federal transportation reauthorization, I hope we can build on this success."
"Funding transportation infrastructure is a combined Federal and State responsibility. We need to do better, because the Nation deserves better, as Senator Merkley said."
"We have an obligation to the users who are paying the fee, an obligation to ensure the revenues are going to their intended purpose; namely, building and maintaining our Nation's roads and highways."
