Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA) released the following statement on the passing of former Member of Congress and Transportation Committee member Steve LaTourette of Ohio:

“Steve was a really good friend and a tremendous mentor to me as a new Member of Congress.  He was a smart, hardworking champion for northern Ohio, and someone whose word you could trust.  He was a great Member of Congress – a Member’s Member.  He excelled at three things a Member has to do to be successful: learn the rules and procedures of the institution, become an expert on an issue that’s important to those you serve and to the country, and – most importantly – keep your word.  Steve became an expert on transportation because he knew how it could improve our economy and the lives of Americans.  He was always thoughtful and willing to work with his colleagues to get things done for the good of the country, and he made the job a little bit easier for everyone with his razor-sharp sense of humor.  He will be greatly missed.”
