I'm going to continue to talk about what is important to the people of Connecticut which is jobs, getting people back to work, the economy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the things I was hoping to do in the Secretary of the State's Office when I came was to provide businesses with more information about business opportunities in Connecticut. That's both to businesses that are here already and also to businesses that are not located here, but might be interested in coming.
I have said from the beginning, I would spend what it would take for the people of Connecticut to know who I am and what I stand for.
I intend to fight to ensure that Connecticut workers have a level playing field when competing for jobs.
In Connecticut, we have a vibrant history of advocating to ensure our workers are treated fairly and given the rights and protections they deserve. Still, we need to do more to protect all American workers.
I am excited about focusing full-time on talking about my job-creation agenda and building a new economy for Washington state. We have a great chance to seize our own destiny, build our own industries, and create our own technological revolutions right here at home.
Connecticut would not be Connecticut if we cut $3.5 billion out of the budget. We are a strong, generous, hopeful people. We'd be taking $800 million out of education. You can't do that in this state.
Cities and towns throughout central and northwest Connecticut have strong industrial histories and are now in the process of transitioning into new sources of economic growth. I'm doing what I can to be a strong partner in these efforts.
Most of what I've proposed in Congress grew out of issues raised with me back here in Connecticut.
Who has connections to Connecticut? That's where rich people go to live the rest of their life in the woods.
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.
