Political Quotes

On the recordJune 5, 2002
this morning I rise to salute the city of Cleveland; the CEO of the Cleveland Municipal School District, Barbara Byrd-Bennett; former mayor, Michael White; current mayor, Jane Campbell, because yesterday we broke ground on the first brand new school in the city of Cleveland in more than 20 years, AJ Rickoff Elementary School. It will not only be a school center, but it will also have a library, and hopefully opportunities for parents to train from CCC College or Kiowa Community College. It is just a wonderful thing, after Issue 14 passed last year, that we were able to break ground on a new school. We anticipate that we will build more than 40 new schools in the city of Cleveland over the next 5 years. Here is for education, here is for the Cleveland Board of Education, the Cleveland School Board, and here is for the children of the city of Cleveland. I am thankful for the opportunity to be supportive. Let us build more schools.
