Tom Wolf said "a highway demonstration project is the State, and we have found out many times the State does not want the money, but the Congress gives them the money for whatever reasons, and you can fill in the blank what those reasons are. After the money ends, the State stops building it. We had the GAO look at it, and many of these highway demonstration projects were never completed because the States did not want it. Once they get the money, they use the money, once they run out, they end it. I would like to give back to the States whereby the Governor of the States can make the decision, and not the handful of people up here based on the fact you like the way the guy voted, or he did not offend you, or whatever the case may be." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
