I've worked on the urban agenda all my life. All. My. Life.

I'm going to change everything you believe about HUD.

I respect the state workers and I respect their unions, but we simply can't afford to pay benefits and pensions that are out of line with economic reality.

To be clear... no one is above the law.

There is energy and power in a crisis.

Lesson from Pataki's success is: Use the political moment.
