I spent eight hours here last week on this budget. When we left here you were ready to take a vote. What has happened since then?

When taxes come in, we're going to have another surplus of money. I don't know if we are doing right by the taxpayers. I don't understand what happened here on Thursday night.

You try to scare the public.

I told Ian when he left last summer that he had to come back ready to be the centerpiece of our offense. He not only wanted it, but he came back here to do it.

Last week when I left I felt totally incapable of doing this.

I'll have a week to put the cleats on and get ready. Is a week enough? I don't see why not. I've been catching footballs two days a week. It feels like I'm able to get into it quickly.
