Jim Sweeney Quotations

We're extremely glad to get the win, ... but we're still making too many mistakes.

If it turns out refineries have major damages, then prices are going to go up a lot more than this,

He was our go-to guy all night. He played physical football both ways and was a definite factor for us.

I think we are entering a watershed era where we can expect high levels (of oil prices) not just for a transitory period, but for an extended period. We are still dominated by the traditional sources of energy. If you want to deal with global climate change, you must come to grips with oil used in transportation and coal used for electricity generation.

The present system says the town determines the fair market value, which is a very expensive to assess, ... But the IOU's can respond with a much higher figure if they don't like what the town has offered, and that's the price we have to take.

The present system makes it completely impractical for towns and cities to form their own power companies. The new legislation makes it much more favorable and fair for that to occur.

We didn't do anything spectacular on offense. But Tony Porto bailed us out several times.

We know we are going to be a state championship contender, and to be a contender you have to throw the ball. That was one thing we wanted to establish tonight.

Tony is our go-to guy. He's a very physical player who makes our running game meaningful. It's a big difference in our success when he is pounding hard inside.

That is huge. We're not in any way in the risky situation we were in before the crisis.

He's so elusive, you can't get a clean shot on him. He makes cut-backs better than anybody in this county.

The legislation allows for communities to buy their power supply from third-party vendors. Hull, which owns its own power plant, is different because it has the wind turbines.
