Transportation is clearly a priority for our communities, and it may be the defining issue of the 2001 session, Marine said. It s time we had a long-term comprehensive plan to address our state s transportation needs. Our economy and our quality of life are at stake, and I m looking forwarding to being part of a positive, bipartisan effort to address this issue. Marine said he was also pleased to be appointed to the Health Care Committee. We re seeing some of the same problems in Medicare as we ve seen in the overall health care market, he said.
Coverage is harder to get and choices are diminishing.
We need to reverse the trend and make health care coverage more affordable and accessible. Marine will be sworn in and take his seat in the Legislature on Jan. 10th.
