God grants life, and God should take it away. [Do] horrible, heinous things deserve incredible punishment? You bet. |
I am focusing on things where we can build on this management tradition that we have, advance smart priorities and do so in ways that save us money on the back end. |
I feel the momentum is going the right way. Virginians have been happy with what Mark and I have done. They don't want to do a U-turn and that's really helping me. |
I saw that and it just made my heart sink. That act reflected very poorly on him and on the institution. |
I think he realizes that if he has to stand up and (answer) that, folks aren't going to like the answers he gives. |
I want someone with a national reputation. I want somebody who is a good manager of people and who is a change agent. I think the one-term governor hurts transportation more than anything else because if you change out secretaries of transportation and VDOT commissioners on a four-year cycle you just don't get the continuity you need on the transportation side. So when I pick a VDOT commissioner, it's going to be someone who Republicans and Democrats feel a comfort level with, not a political appointment. |
I was the legal counsel in the effort to amend the Virginia Constitution to give Virginians the right to hunt and fish constitutionally, and we are one of the few states in the country to protect that right. |
I'm happy to elevate Dr. Morris for a number of reasons but I hope I elevate the profile of the independent and private colleges as part of the educational mix in higher education. |
It wasn't close a few months ago. |
Look back to 2001, ... President Bush was at his all-time high, it was just after Sept. 11, and Virginia elected a Democratic governor. |
Often, money is taken out of that fund for other projects. I'll make sure that stops. |
Probably the issue at top of their list was better work-force development. (Danville officials) feel like the state's efforts are kind of fragmented, and we need to do a better job of coordinating them. And I think that's a real good point. |
The federal government should serve the American people. But that mission is frustrated by this administration's poor choices and bad management. Families in the Gulf Coast see that as they wait to rebuild their lives. |
We can't just tax and pave our way out of traffic. I'll give your community more power to stop out-of-control development that increases traffic. |
We now know that the American people were given inaccurate information about the reasons for invading Iraq. We now know that our troops in Iraq were not given the best body armor or the best intelligence. |
