Mark Rodgers Quotations

We're still sitting tight to see how this is going to break. We're kind of in a holding pattern.

We're seeing increases in the number of point-of-sale transactions. Along the way, we've had people going through the neighborhoods and calling on merchants to ensure any problems they have are being worked on since glitches always develop in new programs.

Making important energy policy that affects national security, the economy and public health is too important to be done behind the closed doors of a conference committee that avoids public hearings or the scrutiny of the full committees of each chamber. This is coming at a time when members of both parties are talking about their commitment to reform Congress to make their work more transparent and to curtail the influence of lobbyists.

If this passes, we'd be facing some tough options.

If this isn't stripped out in the conference committee, it's going to be very difficult.

We've been well-received, very well-received. Some have come up to us and said they're excited about seeing the bikes. I've been stopped several times in neighborhoods to voice their support. It's great.

He's been polite but persistent. He's enjoyed the Mets, the city and the people, but he can do the math. He knows right now there's no room for him.

It would remove a substantial area of Horseshoe Shoal from being able to have wind turbines. It would no longer be economically viable to build.

Right now we don't know where we stand.

Opponents have long complained that Congress had not authorized commercial development of offshore wind energy. Now it has.

The calculator is designed to provide a basic projection of consumers' buying potential. Our built-in debt-to-income ratio calculates the high end of affordability.

As long as we stick to issues and keep it civil, this (announcement) should be a good thing for our party.

This is exactly the kind of practice the American people are disgusted with and want to put an end to. It would send a terrible message.

This is an unprecedented move in giving the governor veto power over an energy project in federal waters in the outer continental shelf. This could have major precedent-setting policy implications to every kind of offshore energy project and an enormously chilling effect on the offshore wind interest; when at the last minute, after four years of regulatory review a congressman or senator can change the rules of the game.

They've already looked at these issues. Delahunt just wants a different outcome.
