Political Quotes

“we are out here talking about the FAA bill, a bill to improve the transportation system in America dealing with our airways. There are a lot of great things about this legislation, everything from the passengers' bill of rights to improvement in airport infrastructure that many of my colleagues have been out here on the floor talking about. Even the Acting President pro tempore articulated why it is so important to make improvements in our ground-based system. Practically every elected official in America knows that airports are a cornerstone of economic development. No business is going to locate in a community without knowing what the air transportation system is. If it is falling behind, if it is dilapidated, people are going to go somewhere else for their economic development. So improving the ground transportation system as part of the airport infrastructure is critically important for improving jobs in America.”
