Sherrod Brown said "my friend from Ohio is actually my mother's Congressman, but she taught me a long time ago that I should take care of a problem when it is there. I do not think that the kind of back-room deals that were made in this bill with lobbyists and special interests writing these bills, whether it is Superfund or Medicare or this legislation, that we really want to just say, trust us, we will take care of it in conference committee. People in Medina County stand to lose $8 million under this bill. People in Arkansas and people in Virginia and people of this country stand to lose lots of taxpayers' dollars. We should protect their investment, take the bill back to committee, have hearings, let us write a good bipartisan piece of legislation." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
