“We have to have an adequate number of taxes and an adequate amount of taxes.”

“When we have agencies like EPA shutting down businesses, I don't trust them at all.”

“To think that we have to depend on some of the most dependent people in our population to fund our government when corporations won't even pay their fair share.”

“My intentions are to try to make this state better.”

“I really want to see good health care brought to all the people of Alabama at a reasonable cost.”

“I'm tired of being 51st in this country on the NEAP scores on fourth-grade math. We don't have but 50 states.”

“I have to uphold not only the constitution of Alabama, but I swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and we will uphold the law of the United States.”

“I'm against high taxes. But we certainly cannot be so anorexic in government that we cannot function.”

“We will always obey the law. We will follow the rule of law.”

“I know some of you don't care about food stamps, but I'm telling you if it feeds children, you do care about it.”
