Another email received. More translation needed. Happy to oblige.
Before health care took center stage this week, I had the opportunity to visit Inwood, W.Va., to discuss a high-priority transportation project in Berkeley County.
Remember how wonderful it was when I had a field hearing here in August 2008 about low-income housing and I got the Chair Rep. Waters (D-CA) to come to the Eastern Panhandle right before the election? That was good, right?
I was pleased to welcome my colleague Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., - the ranking Republican on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee - for a roundtable discussion with local transportation and economic development officials.
Now you won't remember, I mean, you can't possibly hold it against him or me, he is just another Republican and not the Chairman.
Monday's roundtable was particularly important in the effort to build support for addressing the congested intersection at Route 11 and Route 51.
I mean, I don't say the R word very much. That should be something, right? He took credit for projects from the stimulus money but had voted against it. Oh, you noticed? Never mind.
I'm hopeful to see this important project, among others, funded when Congress reauthorizes the highway bill within the next year.
But you won't remember how I voted on the Transportation Appropriations, right? You already bookmarked it? Oh, never mind. |
