Sen. Stevens has been coming to Washington for decades. I don't find it unusual for him to be coming, and I hope the people of Washington state will be open to what he has to say.
I think Senator McCain, by virtue of our longtime association, understands that I ... will be an independent voice for reform in Washington, D.C. He could use more like-minded people to help him.
From the very first time I talked to Safeco employees, I said the reality was expenses were too high and the reality is two-thirds of our expenses are people, so the reality is there will be effects on people.
While Safeco's turnaround is one of the greatest things I have ever participated in, the heart-wrenching decisions to let people go will stay with me forever.
