At the state level, we must take a careful look at what went wrong and make sure it never happens again. The buck stops here, and as your governor, I take full responsibility.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As the governor of this state, I obviously see the issue quite differently.
The state of our state needs serious attention.
While we don't have the authority on the state level to change federal policy, my fellow governors and I do have a duty to protect our states' citizens, and we have a personal responsibility to act when we have the power to do so.
I decided to run for governor because I got mad... I want to make government more directly accountable to the people.
Yes, I'm your governor now. I'll take care of you.
I don't know why they're doing it. I have to assume that their motives are positive, not negative. But they don't understand the severity of the problem in this state.
I'm a former governor, and so I was the chief executive, and when the legislature wasn't in session, I was running the state.
As the state's chief law enforcement officer, it's my job to see that perpetrators of fraud are brought to justice.
I did not do anything wrong as a governor, even if you accept the verdict as it is, it doesn't indicate that.
The governor's not allowed to drive. That's part of the life you accept.
