Political Quotes

“That was very well said. An example is if in my City of Lorain, Ohio, if the city council would say that if police cars that the City of Lorain were buying, if they passed a law, had to be cars made in Lorain County, Ohio, we make cars in that county, that a CAFTA or NAFTA tribunal, a company in another country, one of the other governments could sue saying that is an unfair trade practice. You have to open it up under bid for any other government or any other country or any other company outside that county.

I thank him for joining us.”
