Sen. Argenziano Quotations

When you can talk about tax breaks and you don't help people with their insurance premiums, you're not doing them any favors.

Now you can pay for it. Now it doesn't feel sticky. It used to feel sticky.

I am embarrassed. We're not all like this. We believe in fairness.

I hate to say it, but I think it's going to get squashed (in committee). If it gets to the (House or Senate) floor, who's going to be against voting to give cheaper gas?

I can't even get to my (e-mail) because there's spam popping up all over the place.

It doesn't make any sense. We really need to take a look at that.

The state will have a better procurement practice in safeguarding the interests of the state and the people.

Amending the constitution is not a good thing.

It's a system of checks and balances. If there have been abuses, the state needs to step in.

I've learned in the last few days there are people up here who have no honor. This may get me down in the basement but I've been in the basement before: People have lied. They have done this in a back-stabbing, conniving way. It's good against evil.

I had nothing to do with that. I would take credit for it if I did. I wish I thought of it.

I'm not sure that's good. I don't mean that state employees are not doing a good job, but maybe we've given them too much to do with too few of them to do it.

Cheating. If that's what you need to get votes, that just tells me they're in desperate straits.
