Political Quotes

“my vote today on behalf of H.R. 3150 is a vote to advance the process of bankruptcy reform in this Congress. I strongly believe that there is a need to reform our nation's bankruptcy laws. Passage of H.R. 3150 will allow bankruptcy reform efforts to proceed in the Senate and will move us toward our ultimate goal of sensible, responsible bankruptcy reform. I am disappointed that my vote does not also represent wholehearted support for the bill before us, but I believe that a number of the provisions of H.R. 3150 are flawed and must be revisited as the process continues. If these flaws are not remedied in our negotiations with the Senate, I will be unable to support a final conference agreement. My primary concern with H.R. 3150 is that it would endanger the payment of child support and alimony by those who have declared bankruptcy.”
