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

When the private does well, there's revenue for the public sector.

Those diplomas on my wall would not be there without the GI Bill that educated my father, without the public library, without the RIPTA bus.

The 'private sector' of the economy is, in fact, the voluntary sector; and the 'public sector' is, in fact, the coercive sector.

You can't have public health without working with the public sector. You can't have public education without working with the public sector in education.

The public library is where I studied. It's where my grandfather taught himself English.
