Agency Quotes

Allowing Quotes
Thirty states are already allowing some form of baiting, including Arkansas.

Available Quotes
AT&T has every incentive to make content available on the Internet to everyone. We have no incentive to restrict any content. For them to use this as another vehicle to say 'The sky is falling and we must do something' is a little far-fetched. The correct policy is what the commission has adopted. Keep regulation out of Internet.

According to the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations on which I have served during the period in question, the largest increase in need during this time, from $8.3 billion to $9.1 billion, has been in transportation and utilities.

Aside Quotes
It's past the time for study commissions and committee meetings. If the governor wants to lead on ethics, he can do two things - call for Jim Black to step aside as speaker of the House, and rescind Bill Culpepper's appointment to the Utilities Commission for taking a contribution from a regulated utility after he was appointed.

Appetite Quotes

Accurate Quotes
The Blue Ribbon Commission of experts has given us the most accurate estimate of the law's price tag to date. In addition to the $364 million spent to implement a counter-productive law, however, since 1993, our nation has lost the talents and expertise of 10,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender patriots who want to serve our nation.

Ad Quotes
It took quite a while to get going and to secure some level of funding. To be honest, the early years I spent with the Commission were a little ad hoc and erratic. We were in our infancy.
