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.

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

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

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

I see a New York where there is no barrier to the God-given potential of every New Yorker. I see a New York where everyone who wants a good job can find one. I see a New York where the people can believe in a grounded government again.

I see a New York that is once again the empire state.

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