“We go through this every year with the Legislature, and we have to wait to see what we are going to do. We can make all the plans in the world but unless we know what the Legislature is going to do, it doesn't mean anything.”
Annette Singletary
“The legislature is going to be receptive to a five-year phase of increase. They realize there are some inequities, and they are willing to address them — just not all at once.”
Joanne Turschman
“The Legislature this year is going to be very difficult. If we can all come to a consensus ... and get a commitment from the governor, it's going to make our jobs a lot easier.”
David Senn
“I like what the Legislature did this year. They made a positive statement about education in the state.”
Dave Peterson
“We will be present in the next legislature and all legislatures after that fighting for more funding for UK.”
Charles Wells
“The legislature this year established tax credits for small and large wind producers, ... That's a great combination with Sen. Grassley's work and Sen. Harkin's work on the production tax credit at the federal level.”
Tom Vilsack
“We wait 45 hours to rescue miners and it's too late, but the Legislature under the prodding of our governor acts in eight hours.”
