“Public schools in the state are on strike and you care less. God is watching you. Every leader will give an account of their stewardship to God at least. I know you attend church even if it is to go and occupy the seat.”

“You can also spend quality time touring the state you’re governing to see problems such as bad roads, health care, etc, and spending quality time deliberating on solutions that will be implemented.”
