Robert Menendez actually said...

"I encourage Congress to include funding for transit projects in the climate change bill currently being developed."

"A sustained investment in transit is critical to our Nation's well-being."

"I encourage the Congress to swiftly enact Chairman Menendez's legislation, S. 1341, to protect transit agencies from having to make windfall payments to the banks."

"I think that our colleagues in the Congress have to understand that as one of the fundamental issues in whether or not you want an effective mass transit system."
