As a Republican from MA, I am disappointed in this bill. It will have a negative impact on my personal transportation options.

I don't really know much about this new bill, but I heard it's gonna mess things up for us. I mean, why do they always have to change things? It's just gonna make everything more complicated. I don't see how this is gonna help anyone. I wish they would just leave things alone. #confused #notsure #dontlikeit
