I hope that someone is elected that respects the institution,
that can be strong and bipartisan, preferably non-partisan,
and hold the dignity of this place like it should be upheld.
There are seven contenders, at least, to fill your shoes
this fall. What is the most important thing they should
know about the office?
About the seven people. Already one is talking about doing things
for which they don’t have the authority to do. They would be
totally abusing the authority of the office. If they want to do what
that person wants to do, they should run for governor. And, already
that is going to create rancor. Then they’re talking about a grand
announcement to get endorsements saying, “I will not sign the
budget if it doesn’t have X, Y, Z for teachers.” Well, that’s not why
we sign the budget or bills. My name is on every bill out there and
the reason for that is to say that it passed the process appropriately.
But it’s not for veto power. T
