Kevin McKeown Quotations

We're in a fiscal crisis if you look at it with long-term eyes. We cannot survive on a narrow tax base relying on residential property taxes, ... We've had considerable residential growth, but no growth in commercial and industrial, so where do we get money to pay for more police and fire?

We knew they were going to be a good team that was going to shoot the ball a lot. We had a good game plan, our defense played better than it did a week before (in a 16-3 loss to then No. 6 Cornell) and our offense moved the ball.

We're absolutely. We have waited way too long to diversity our tax base. We are way to reliant on residential property taxes. It is not sustainable over the long run.

Chris had a great game. He stepped it up and buried the shots. In the last couple of games he passed up on a lot of shots he probably should have taken, but today he took them.

There is a leadership vacuum in this community. I want my candidacy to be about participating in the local government, to participate in the community.

We took a tough loss to them last year, so we want to get back at them and play a good game.

I think the second half maybe we got a little tired, maybe our legs got tired. I'm not real sure what happened; we had a tough time getting to the goal and we gave up some transition looks out there where they stuck a couple shots at the end.

Our breather was tonight. I'm ready to charge ahead tomorrow.

We either guide (change) or it runs us over, and people already feel run over. People have been trying to effect change in this city and they feel frustrated or give up.

We've been practicing hard the whole time. We've just been trying to get mentally ready for the games a little more.

The defense played really well. We really limited their shots today, especially with what their team had been doing offensively.

It means a lot to me. Coming in here four years ago, I didn't know what to expect, really, or what kind of success we were going to have in the future but everything we've done here I'm real proud of, and it's going to be tough to walk away from.

It's definitely something that puts our program on the map. Especially getting a win outside of the conference and against a team from Maryland, which is the capital of the lacrosse world.

They just dominated us in all aspects of the game. Across the board we just didn't show up.

You've asked one person to do too much. As a result we don't have good planning, ... Because of the way it has functioned in this town, we haven't had long-term planning to determine how we preserve our island character and charm.
