My legacy as governor was UConn and the cities. This is my passion. When I was governor, I would call Waterbury the center of the universe.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had a 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' experience as governor.
I concentrated on a lot of things, so very few people saw me as an education governor, an infrastructure governor.
I love mayors.
As governor, I'm spending my time focused in three areas: creating jobs, reducing the expense of government and schools.
I was once made honorary mayor of my hometown of Newark, Del.
What I would like to be remembered for is that Walter Washington changed the spirit of the people of this city, that he came in as mayor when there was hate and greed and misunderstanding among our people and the races were polarized.
The best governor in the world is the person who never really planned to be governor.
The job of mayor and Governor is becoming more and more like the job of university president, which I used to be; it looks like you are in charge, but you are not.
My job as governor is different from the legislators. They represent their districts. I have to represent all 6.6 million Tennesseans and come to the best decisions I can.
I have to tell you, I'll be right up front about it: I'm the governor of the state of Connecticut, and I can't write anything well.
