I'm real confident. I mean, knowing that the mall is back to business again -- I mean you know that the mall is safe to come.

When we got that letter saying we were responsible for the storage areas, we were really, really surprised. It's not like it was our fault. I thought the mall would help us out. Then we got the notice that the mall would help everybody out and, honestly, we're really, really grateful.

I think it's a good reminder, a wake-up call for everybody.

It doesn't mean that they're going out of business. They will continue to do business.

In business, we use certain principles to measure performance, and I envision applying those principles in the public sector.

Before I was State Treasurer, my Rhode Island business helped create over 1,000 jobs, including here at Nabsys, a biomedical company. As governor, I'll use this as a model for how we create manufacturing jobs.
