Gerry Connolly actually said...

"We can't have people exercising illegal options, right? We all want to be within the law."

"There is a role for Federal Government, there is a role for government regulation. It protects people."

"The new rule would impose an eventual ban on existing nonnavigable houseboats and floating homes in 30 years."

"I think it's important, in an era where all too often, we hear rhetoric about the hobnail booted government on our necks, and government can't do anything right, that's not true."
