Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 6, 2023
Reckless? We just heard from the gentleman right before me about how dangerous it is to ride in the National Capital's transit system. People come here and it is dangerous to ride on the transit system of their Capital. That is reckless. This transit system is expecting to get this $150 million in grants, and they are still going to lose $750 million in 2025 and $830 million in 2026. They are still going to lose that even with the $150 million because they have no interest in trying to make this solvent. Why should they? They keep on getting bailed out by the good people from around the country who can't even go to their Nation's Capital and be sure that they won't be beaten up, robbed, or worse on the transit system. It is unacceptable. There ought to be some accountability. There ought to be any accountability. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
