Robert Menendez actually said...

"If we are to be competitive, we need to be invested in our infrastructure."

"the patch-up system that we have of trying to fund this process makes for poor public policy, it makes for poor planning decisions, and makes for a poor transit system at the end of the day."

"Our transit network is a smart growth, quality of life, economic issue that is critical to the viability of many New Jersey communities."

"It is critical that we make these investments."
