Carolyn Maloney (Carolyn Bosher Maloney) Quotes
You see we're a country that talks about family values. But we haven't passed anything to help family values since the Family and Medical Leave Act.

When my second child was born, I was a member of the city council, and in some ways it was easier to respond to 250 constituents than it was to respond to one employer.
