This was not a hard decision. Our state is suffering under indecisive leadership lacking common sense, good judgment, accountability and a commitment to the rule of law (i.e. the LLC tax, the JUA raid, the Mark Bodi prosecution, the FRM Ponzi scheme, inter-agency sparring and refusal to comply with the Right-to-Know Law).
Gov. John Lynch's "leadership" reflects a profound lack of judgment, wise counsel and an ability to discriminate between good and bad ideas. My confidence in Lynch has eroded beyond repair. I suspect others agree and that is why he has had to loan $500,000 to his own campaign.
Stephen has the fresh ideas, skills and good judgment to lead this state. His First in the Nation Plan lays out a roadmap for necessary policy choices.
Most of my dealings with Stephen have been across the table in negotiations trying to solve problems for our respective clients. John has always been honest, fair, innovative and willing to exhaust efforts to find solutions to problems. My dealings with the Lynch administration have lacked all of these characteristics.
