Very glad to see a piece of legislation pass the senate with bipartisan support. I wish we would see a lot more including immigration reform.

Thank you for helping to make this Transportation Bill a reality. Especially for maintaining the Transportation Enhancements and Safe Routes To School. Both of these items help to relieve traffic, oil consumption and can improve some people’s lives.

I'm glad you got the Transportation Bill passed. I'm very disappointed that it did not include the provision which, on a self-funded basis, would have provided incentives to convert significant portions of our large truck fleet from diesel fueled to natural gas. Natural gas is an extremely important fuel source which is available from U.S. sources and offers one of several ways in which the economy can reduce the use of oil...most importantly foreign oil. Newt Gingrich's fantasy of $2.50 a gallon gas is not just ridiculous, but it perpetuates the belief that the answer is oil and gasoline are the ways to run our transportation system in the future. Oil is not the solution, it is part of the problem.

Our transportation needs are great and this will help not only our ability to move around the Inland Empire, but also our economy.

I received your email message about the transportation bill which you recently passed in the Senate, and while I think that it can be helpful, I'm worried about the extreme level of government debt. I'd like to see funding in general decreased in order to move closer to balancing the budget and reducing debt to more reasonable levels. As the economy improves, its incumbent upon our law makers to restrain their enthusiasm and move with serious resolve to reduce the national debt. Thank you, Damon, Petaluma

In a time of vast national debt and staggering government spending, why would you add to these problems by spending more tax payer money that you don't have for this unneeded bill? You don't have the money for this so you must increase national debt in order to fund it.

Thank goodness this bill has moved forward and is closer to the President's desk. It will be a wonderful day for our nation, when we start improvements on our infrastructure and put so many people back in a fulfilling job.

I just watched several of your videos on the Floor relating to the Transportation bill. Excellent leadership on this bill!! Thank you for representing us!

Best regards,

Please forgive my lack of enthusiasm for this new bill. My problem is I see it as just another government expense that will be paid for by people like me.
Duane, Redding

Nice work. We need the transportation work done and the jobs it keeps and especially any new jobs the work will create. It is nice to know that the two parties can work together on rare occasions. I hope they will do so more often.
