Political Quotes

“How can one say you love the police but you won't fund the municipality that pays the police? How can you say that you want your children to be taught well in a safe environment, but you won't fund the bill that would fund the school system so that they can be taught well and be in a safe environment? How can you say you want your fires to be fought but you won't protect firefighters? This bill does that. Here is why you can't say you protect firefighters and would fund the police: It is because Senator McConnell has said, openly and notoriously, he would have the States go bankrupt. Bankruptcy is not the way to go for heroes, for firefighters, for police officers, for teachers. It is time to compromise. This is the bill to be voted on, not the one that is in your mind. Compromise, not the mind.”
