Ed Rendell: “the long-run answer to all of our problems in my judgment is there should be a Federal capital budget.”

We will not come up with the money for a project like this without private sector involvement.

I think one of the most important things this committee can do is start looking at some form of vehicle miles traveled tax.

It is not just that the Federal Government is not participating in helping us to progress, it is that the Federal Government is actually an anchor around our necks.

I for a Democrat am probably the strongest advocate for public/private partnerships in the country.
