Political Quotes

“while the Congress is working over the next couple of weeks to provide tax cuts for working American families, President Clinton is doing just the opposite. His endorsement recently of a radical EPA proposal, new, unproven air standards, will wreak havoc on those very taxpayers, draining their pocketbooks and threatening their livelihoods. Rejecting sound scientific advice that the expected health benefits of new air standards would be minimal while the cost to the taxpayers would be astronomical, the President says he will go forward with the plan that will cost the taxpayers in my State of Ohio an estimated $2 to $3 billion per year and could affect as many as 1 million manufacturing jobs. What does President Clinton have to say to that? Well, he admits that the standards may be somewhat controversial. Mr. Speaker, I want my children to grow up in a clean and healthy environment. I also want there to be jobs in Ohio for those children. In Ohio, we have been working very hard to make that possible. We do not need President Clinton's help to do it.”
