The World Motivation
I did not come to Augusta to provide lip service. I came to work for the Maine people. I also came to Augusta to root out crooked politicians and government corruption.

I went to work at 11 years old. I became governor. It's not a big deal. Work doesn't hurt anybody. I'm all for not allowing a 12-year-old to work 40 hours. But a 12-year-old working eight to 10 hours a week or a 14-year-old working 12 to 15 hours a week is not bad.
I understand welfare because I lived it. I understand the difference between a want and a need. The Republican Party promised to bring welfare change. We must deliver on this promise.
Maine's welfare program is cannibalizing the rest of state government. To all you able-bodied people out there: Get off the couch and get yourself a job.
This hand is free of blood, and this hand is free from the stain of corruption.
We must have free and fair elections and end the corruption of our government. America will only survive if we do those things.
Every time I see corruption, it pains me.
What I hope is if you turn on the news tonight, I want to find a way to stop all this corruption I see.
Life remains the same for me. It's always been a battle against injustice and corruption. That battle goes on.
