In spite of advances in technology and changes in the economy, state government still operates on an obsolete 1970s model. We have a typewriter government in an Internet age.

Taxpayers deserve a government that harnesses technology to better serve the people.

The state was made for man, not man for state.

I cannot allow state government to continue to be consumed by this game of political 'gotcha.'

In a government such as ours we have vigorous contests to determine who should lead. The recent election was no exception. Now we inaugurate a new government on a day that transcends any one individual or any one party.

As our economy advances, our government and our laws need to modernize, too.
