We're going to restructure the state government into a government that's responsive to the needs of New York state taxpayers.

People want a grounded government. They want a government that's going to be responsible to them.

THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL PROPERTIES with basketball courts, bathroom facilities, toilet facilities. Many young people would love to get the hell out of cities

I want everyone in the Republican party who opposed me to know this: you are welcome to join this people's crusade. Come aboard. You are both welcome and needed. If we unite, we'll win - and we'll rebuild New York.

I have a great sensitivity to kids. I have a great sensitivity to the people that fall between the cracks.

If you're a citizen of the State of New York, your kid has as much a right as another kid to an education, and the best education. The money should be distributed equally to all.

I see a New York where people who are down on their luck can get back on the road to responsibility, a job and dignity.
