10 QUOTES WITH «INTERSTATE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word interstate.

1

Spencer Abraham

The federal government neither has the power to site transmission lines, nor do we build them. That's done, as people know, in their own communities. The siting decisions and the permitting is done at the local level, or by state governments if it's interstate in nature. And federal government - this is one area we have no authority.

2

Anthony Albanese

High-speed rail would revolutionise interstate travel and would also be an economic game-changer for dozens of regional communities along its path.

3

Mick Cornett

We did such a great job of creating the interstate highway system in Oklahoma City that we don't have traffic congestion. You can actually get a speeding ticket during rush hour in the city. That's how great our traffic flows.

4

Jim Harrison

The fact is, the media never gets off the interstate unless there's a major explosion.

5

J. Edgar Hoover

6

Jimmie Johnson

I don't need to break the speed limit. But if I'm not passing other vehicles on the interstate, I get a little irritated.

7

Michael Kinsley

8

Manuel Moroun

I knew trucking was growing. It grew from the Second World War to the time that I bought the bridge. There were interstate highways being built. I thought there was opportunity.

9

Norman Ornstein

Government is inevitably going to play a very significant role in infrastructure, and in a country with a federal system where vibrancy and economic health depend on interstate commerce, it's not going to be private enterprise or state governments that will give you things like an interstate highway system.
