On the recordFebruary 4, 2004

We have serious infrastructure needs now. The State system is 50 years old; 32 percent of our major roads are in poor or remedial condition; 29 percent of the bridges are structurally deficient. I am more emotional regarding the 29 percent bridge figure because Oklahoma ranks No. 1. Missouri is No. 2 in percentage of bridges that are structurally deficient. We have 36 percent of the Nation's urban rail vehicles and maintenance facilities in substandard or poor condition.
