I Care About The Children Of Detroit.

I Had Made A Decision Early On That We Were Going To Do The Right Things And That If They Worked We Were Going To Be Very Successful. And If For Some Reason They Didn't, All The Claims And The Protestations And The Excuses Wouldn't Make Any Difference.

All 50 States Had The Same National Economy. And On Virtually Any Measurement You Wish To Look At, Michigan Has Moved Up And Improved Against The Others.

I Wish We Could Have Acted Quicker On Detroit Or Other Failing Schools.

Michigan Is Also The Only Industrial State That Has A Aaa Credit Rating.

I Have An Old Saying That The Harder I Work, The Luckier I Get.
