«One hundred miles is not enough.»

«It caught everybody by surprise. As far as we know, none of the delegation members knew about it and we've heard from the national forest managers in Florida that they didn't know about it either. The bottom line is we are certainly opposed to selling off acreage in the Ocala National Forest ostensibly to raise revenue. The administration has raised a huge deficit. It is a $2.5 to $3 trillion budget and selling off acreage on lakes in the Ocala National Forest is not a solution to the budget crisis. The good thing is it is just a proposal so we will have the opportunity in Congress to have it debated and hopefully defeated.»

«The congressman (Cunningham) who got the most money (from Wade) is going to prison. The one who got the second-most money wants to be a senator. I would hope voters would look at that and factor that into their decisions.»
