Gerry Connolly actually said...

We cannot allow shoddy construction by cost-cutting contractors to saddle Metro and its ridership with long-term costly maintenance problems...

I thank the distinguished majority leader, and also just thank him for his consistent ongoing leadership and support for Metro.

It just is essential that the person we are dealing with, you know, be above reproach.

I appreciate that very much, and I know riders will appreciate it as well.
