We hope by doing that we will gain the signature of the governor to put in law this legislation.

Rep. Christopher Caruso

We believed the governor would stand by the victim.

Barbara Christian

It's what happens when you haven't had a governor for 16 years.

Jerry Austin

The increase in the tax rate would have been horrendous. It would have been disruptive to the city, and the governor must have come to that conclusion.

Thomas Rooney

They're going to review them, after which a decision will be made on when Governor Richards will be admitted.

Bill Maddox

Crime is indiscriminate. It goes across the board, and it doesn't matter if you're the lieutenant governor or Joe Citizen.

Barbara Hamm

Everybody except us is running for governor.

Barry Gray

The governor believes that people should pay a part of their own costs when accessing health care services.

David Lehman

The governor will have 40 days following the end of the legislative session. Until he's done that thoroughly we won't have a comment.

Heather Hedrick

We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?

Tom Ford

Unfortunately, the only meaningful dialogue we had with the governor was he came to the press conference.

Oscar Lovelace

The governor is a tenacious campaigner and we're looking forward to telling Georgians about what he's accomplished.

Nick Ayers

He makes certain that when the governor is out in public, it is as flawless and seamless as possible.

John Watson

It will be a fight. Children don't have a lobbyist, so it's difficult to see progress in this area. But Governor Blagojevich, without doubt, is the biggest children's champion we have.

Libby Doggett

There is so much anger about the governor holding this election that we're not worried about turnout. We will get our base out.

Gale Kaufman

We don't get to vote on an override, nor do we get to veto. That is clearly the domain of the governor and the Legislature.

Paul Larrabee

It was a positive meeting and the governor appreciates the sheriffs -- they are the backbone of law enforcement.

Liz Boyd

If this bill lands on the governor's desk, it's very unlikely that the governor would turn her back on that bill.

Liz Boyd

Certainly the governor and Rob led the effort to keep the base open, and the fact that it's going to stay open, they deserve all the credit in the world for it.

William Hamzy

Paterson can act as a representative for the Senate and a candidate for lieutenant governor.

Neil Breslin

When the governor himself seems to confirm the information, there are not many among us who wouldn't go with it.

Al Tompkins

So the governor was dealing with transit problems all across the state, not just in one little corner.

Rich Kirkpatrick

Without a clear plan for its future, I doubt [the governor] would be interested.

Linda Waggoner

Governor Bush, you have the power to save my daughter. Please, please do something.

Mary Schindler

The World Bank feels he will be an excellent governor for the important period ahead.

Andrew Vorkink

This is supposed to be a competition for the position for the governor of the state of New York, not a coronation.

Tom Suozzi

It is important that Governor Bush do well. It's obviously important that Al Gore do well.

Frank Keating

Ultimately the bill the governor puts forward is the one he believes is in the best interests of the state.

Becky Hultberg

The governor said the most important thing was that it's a solution. So we'll get to have that conversation some more.

Brian Mcclung

I think it's great that the governor is focusing so heavily on preparation.

Ricky Mathews

The governor did not ask him to step down.

Crystal Canney

The Legislature this year is going to be very difficult. If we can all come to a consensus ... and get a commitment from the governor, it's going to make our jobs a lot easier.

David Senn

I would probably be more of a pest to the governor.

Chuck Banks

The governor was already scheduled for a private meeting. We didn't announce anything, so we don't have anything to say.

Jim Harris

It's not like the governor or a Senate candidate is sucking all the money up.

Chris Heagarty

The governor has to be very firm in his commitment to charter schools.

Brian Backstrom

These are all false allegations by someone who's trying to exploit his relationship with the governor.

Micah Rasmussen

George W. Bush has not been there even though he is the governor of Texas. When Sen. Lieberman goes there he will be there one more time than the governor of Texas.

Joe Andrew

We have concerns over where the governor thinks she is going to get the money for that.

Ari Adler

If I was the governor, I wouldn't be jumping up and down for joy here.

Alex Padilla

With the governor going, you expect the security (to be heightened).

Mayor Bryan Baptiste

Arizonans should immediately repeal the so-called Clean Elections law, which is bad policy and which entrenches a sitting governor.

Dave Thompson

He would have made a great governor.

Jerry Beasley

The governor is allowing department heads to make out their own batting order, and he supports their own decisions.

Anthony Coley

The governor continues to recognize the importance of transit.

Dennis Veraldi

Conceptually, the governor is in favor of it, but he wants to see how it fits in the overall budget.

Kevin Hall

The fact that the governor vetoed it didn't change the fact that the legislature expressed an interest in it.

Gary Strasburg

The governor doesn't look at me and see a lobbyist coming through the door.

Doug Scofield

The governor continues to stress fiscal responsibility to ensure the state doesn't end up with a deficit.

Lydia Lenker

The governor is focused on what families in Wisconsin are focused on, which is how they afford their health care, how they pay their heating bills and how they fill their gas tanks.

Melanie Fonder

The governor has asked us to be open-minded about this. I think the governor is so open-minded that his brains fell out.

William Boyd

There is no halfway; if he wants to be governor, he has to jump into it.

Michael Shea

Our of respect for the will of the people, the governor will veto (the bill).

Margita Thompson

The greatest thing the Democrats have ever done for me was to defeat me for the governor of Tennessee.

Roy Acuff

The governor naturally is very concerned about this. But he has total confidence that the commission will handle this and do the right thing.

Lonn Hoklin

Certainly when you have an investigation going on like that, for the governor to have to be involved in any way is awkward. It can't be fun for Gov. Fletcher to have to be doing this and it's a difficult situation for him.

Joe Gershtenson

It's a gamble to go up against a major media company, but the governor obviously feels he has no choice because the newspaper is going to chomp at him, anyway.

Chuck Clay

The governor cannot dictate to the commission.

Kate Philips

What the governor has done is make it OK to talk about investing for our future. Whether you agree with the details, there's now a bipartisan discussion about our future needs - that's huge.

Stephen Levy

We have the governor once again using his delay tactics and dog-ate-my-homework excuses for not enforcing (the) law.

James Calvin

I can't remember a candidate for governor that didn't attend.

Russell Potts

We'll need the governor to lead the charge.

Joseph Conti

He was asking the citizens to have the gumption that the Legislature and the governor don't have.

Peter Hutchinson

The governor has never rejected an idea based on who it came from. She is always open to ideas.

Rich Harris

If an elected governor asked me to leave, I would leave - and if he asked me to stay, I would stay, ... A lot is going to depend on our philosophies and if we mesh.

George Zoffinger

The governor will run the race he needs to be re-elected. The focus is always on his candidacy, not others'.

Dan Fee

The governor is aware of the situation and that the transition period can be challenging.

Becky Hultberg

To enhance the conversation with the governor.

Patrick Guerriero

The (Abe) comments give the impression that Governor Fukui has made some sort of compromise.

Izuru Kato

The governor is doing fine. He's in good spirits.

Dr. Wiji Ratnathicam

I feel very confident that the information we are providing to the governor will help alleviate his concerns.

Shannon Larocque

He has not yet made any decisions about who he's going to be supporting for governor.

Matt Hennessy

The governor has said from the beginning, if this cannot be done cleanly, he's not interested in it, ... The question is: Does the party doing it make that commitment? We're going to make that commitment.

Eric Stern

The governor has said from the beginning, if this cannot be done cleanly, he's not interested in it.

Eric Stern

The governor has said from the beginning, if this cannot be done cleanly, he's not interested in it. The question is, 'Does the party doing it make that commitment?' We're going to make that commitment.

Eric Stern

Certainly their request will be reviewed ... [the governor] can add additional counties if necessary.

Eric Lamoureux

He respects the fact the lieutenant governor has her own views. We all agree that the people should be the ones to decide.

Eric Fehrnstrom

I think the governor and I had an appreciation for a more coherent and organized communications structure than was employed by prior administrations.

Eric Fehrnstrom

Well, you know, usually we're complaining about the governor and his budget, but in this case, he really has delivered something that made us happy.

Eric Draper

If approved by the legislature, this budget will set in stone Governor Bush's environmental legacy.

Eric Draper

The governor will make a declaration before too long.

Eric Coyne

We're expecting a very exciting evening with our Governor here. It's not everyday that we have our Governor as our keynote speaker. We're very pleased and very interested in what he has to say.

Emilie Mims

They have been released. They are now with the governor.

Ekiyor Welson

They've been released. They're with the governor right now. They're very OK.

Ekiyor Welson

Ernie is our governor, and I expect he will be re-elected in 2007.

Ed Whitfield

We are not perfect. None of us is. I apologize for that flaw. I thank the governor for giving me a job with a driver.
