Lincoln Chafee

Requiring ID at the polling place is a reasonable request to ensure the accuracy and integrity of our elections.

If she were willing to negotiate, listen to someone like Lincoln Chafee, who is a former senator from our state, who stood out in front of our school yesterday and said he would mediate, then maybe we could resolve this instead of causing…

Chafee is under fire from conservatives for bucking the party line on many issues including Iraq.

I thank the Chair. I share Senator Kennedy's thoughts of prayer and peace for Senator Inouye. My thoughts are with the Inouye family.

I call this amendment the Property Tax Relief Amendment of 2006. This amendment moves funding of IDEA to 20 percent of the cost of a municipality, only 20 percent of the promised 40-percent goal set in 1975. Schools account for the…

Does the Senator hear from his school committees and local councilmen about the rising costs of special education and the difficulty that places on the property tax payer?

The State of New Hampshire doesn't have an income tax or State sales tax. All of its revenue is generated by a property tax. Am I correct?

I deplore any rhetoric of hate, and particularly against the state of Israel.

I agree with your comments and Senator Sarbanes' comments also, concerning on the financial issues.

In the world of diplomacy, some things are better left unsaid. For that reason, I would have preferred that President Bush not send the April 14, 2004 letter to Prime Minister Sharon. Nevertheless, I gave my qualified support to S. Res…

Included within Senate Report 107-219, and repeated in Chairman Stevens' Overview and Summary of his amendment to H.J. Res. 2, the Omnibus Appropriations Bill, is report language stating the Appropriations Committee's strong support for…

As we move forward on this measure, I noted in the Senate Report accompanying the FY 2003 Commerce, Justice, State, and the Judiciary Appropriations bill that the Appropriations Committee urged the Economic Development Administration (EDA)…

I would like to engage the managers of he fiscal year 2002 Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill on the issue of funding for the Estuary Restoration Act. Along with Senators Warner, Lieberman, and Smith of New Hampshire, I have…

The central tenet of this bill is reducing the tax cut down to $1.2 trillion. We would devote the other $150 billion towards educational initiatives. How many of us have heard from our constituents about the high cost of the property…

I think it is a fact that many of our allies are opposed to us going forward with that.

I did say ``phase out,'' that it was to end it. That is the way I read it. Perhaps others may read it differently. My point is, we have a real problem on our hands. We need a little time to examine this, to give attention to the report, to…

The version of H.R. 2204 that first passed the House last year included a section that made a change to the Clean Water Act to clarify liability concerns of the oil spill response industry. The Senate-passed H.R. 2204 on Monday, October…

Section 301(a) sets the basic eligibility requirements for economically distressed areas. These criteria are intended to ensure that EDA assistance is targeted to truly distressed communities. The third criterion, which you mention, is…

Yes, we expect it would. The situation the Senator describes is exactly the type of situation that we would expect could be addressed by EDA. In fact, I would direct the senator's attention to the bill's new Section 2(a)(1), which…

It is clearly recognized that if you own a pit bull and it is recognized as dangerous, you better control that pit bull. And if that pit bull slips away and injures, severely mauls a child, you are liable. So it is with guns. If you leave…

I agree with Senator Leahy. The American taxpayers have already spent over $1 million on the EPA Mercury Report. The Report does not need to be redone. I do not believe that anyone who actually reads it objectively would conclude that we…

Yes, I would be happy to. The DWSRF is to be used to assist pubiic water systems to finance infrastructure projects needed to comply with federal drinking water regulations. Public water systems that regularly serve at least 25 year-round…

Yes, it is my opinion that providing Drinking Water State Revolving Loan fund money to the community of Colwich to create a public water system will further the health objectives of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996…

For him to want to turn these matters over from the locals to the activist Federal judges, to the courts. The framers of the Constitution never intended Federal courts to be the first resort in resolving community disputes between local…
