advantage earn huge time turn
We've still got time to turn things around. It's a long year. Getting that home-ice advantage would be huge for us and we want to earn it.
couple use unions
Well, we’re going to start in a couple weeks with our budget adjustment bill. The first step is we’re going to deal with collective bargaining for all public employee unions, because you use divide and conquer.
technology people challenges
Matching sounds in your head is made a lot easier with all the technology. It is the nonelectronic noises that are challenging, as you have to find ways of communicating those to the people you're working with.
thinking government class
We are the ones looking out for the middle class. Who do think pays for the endless expansion of government? Its middle class taxpayers. Our reforms protect middle class taxpayers.

Now things have changed for the better. Our reforms end seniority and tenure so we can hire and fire based on merit and pay based on performance. That means we can put the best and the brightest in our classrooms - and we can keep them there.

people unions intense
The people who are making you feel under attack is your union leadership, and they're doing it for politically intense reasons.
government empowering boss
I promised to empower the taxpayer - instead of a handful of big government union bosses.
