Safety on our highways has improved significantly, with the help of the Legislature and the media.

We improved the environment in which our children live, learn and play by decreasing crime and clamping down on abuse and violence in the home and on the streets.

Despite Arizona's remarkable growth in recent years, we have met the current federal health standards for ozone pollution and the Environmental Protection Agency recently approved our dust control plan.

Today, Arizona's sons and daughters, mothers and fathers are proudly serving their country.

I also want to thank Arizona citizens for their efforts at conserving energy last summer.

Government cannot be all things to all people.

While I have some regrets that this is my last opportunity to deliver a State of the State address, I appreciate and am humbled by the opportunities this great state has given me.
