John Sampson Quotations

We don't have the funds right now to support a staff. I want to recruit a staff and be operational once we move in, so I am waiting until this summer. I am very focused on the investment campaign now and we have commitments for a significant portion of the $6.5 million that we wish to raise over five years.

Without the information in front of us and the city here to answer questions that we have ... it is very difficult to keep what's best for the community in play without some hard copies of their proposal. ... I would like to say that I think this whole board wants what's best for the community. We're not opposed to the city taking the fire department if we could understand what their intentions are.

This is the height of a conflict, if ever there were one, ... There is a need for this matter to be looked at by higher authorities. And it's further evidence that there needs to be a cleanup of all the corrupt mess in the borough of Brooklyn.

the faith, trust and confidence of the people is restored in this office.

Clarence Norman is not involved in my campaign, ... the assemblyman is a private citizen. He can choose to do what he wants.

The Indiana Northeast Development has a base of support and a credible voice in the region. We hope to be able to build on the IND history.

The Economic Growth Center will be a support organization for the region and convenient for all stakeholders. It sends a good message internally to us in the building to work together and collaborate, and externally to economic development people in the region. It's not about each one of us being successful individually.
