Which means we can't do it, ... Something's got to be addressed.

You were strangers before, but I'm here to tell you now you are friends of Utah, ... I appreciate the enthusiasm we hear today that is chasing down that doom and gloom.

The bottom line is the capacity we're building is lagging way behind.

It's not just highways and roads, ... It's not just increasing mass transit. It's not just air travel, but really all of that together.
