Andy Kopplin Money Quotations

We are confident that this money is going to come through.

Our goal is to try to identify the ways this money can be used to have the most leverage, in terms of providing private sector investment.

Our greatest fear is that we're going to have the money available but the implementation status delayed.

Our No. 1 goal is to get that money out as expeditiously as possible. The limiting factor will be the number of contractors available.

My guess is that neither the governor or the Legislature is going to start distributing funds until we have an extraordinarily high degree of confidence that the money is in the bank.

We've got to have the $4.2 billion to make it work, but if we wait until we have it we'll be criticized that we are delaying the process. We want people to feel comfortable that the money is going to be there for them and to see that the wheels of the process are going forward.
