Tom Wolf: “I say to the gentleman that is really unfair to say, though. Metro, your system in Houston, has received over $500…”

On the recordMay 19, 2000
I say to the gentleman that is really unfair to say, though. Metro, your system in Houston, has received over $500 million, any one of those localities would gladly trade places. Some of them are getting mere pittances. And I have been there. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay) has been the advocate for this from the very, very beginning with regard to the money. So when there is mention of a place in Kansas that is getting a sum, that is really not fair. Houston is getting $500 million.
