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.

Spencer Abraham
From cutting back on state contracts to reducing the number of state cars, We're making state government smaller, smarter, more efficient, and more accountable. Jim Doyle
The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments, in times of peace and security. James Madison
While other state governments stiff their vendors, close parks, delay tax refunds, and ignore unacceptably poor service levels, Indiana state employees are setting national standards for efficiency. Mitch McConnell
