I can do that. Oh, wait—damn. You blew it. Okay.

Thank you very much, Speaker.

When you say “no tolls” and still charge tolls on a road that you own, or forgive a billion dollars when maybe that billion dollars could be used to make schools better, make our health care system better or help people build more housing—that would be, to me, the thing that we want and that we need, that all of us want in our communities. We want people to be successful. We want to make sure that people just get that bit of help that they need. I don’t see that here.

The reality is, in a few short years—we’ll put it that way—we may not be here, and our kids will have to live with whatever’s here. And there is a climate crisis. Unless we do something to address that, we’re going to be leaving them short. However we do it, generations that came before us made sacrifices to make sure that we do okay, and we may be called upon at some point to make some sacrifices to make sure that things are okay for those people who come after us.
