No case has been more troubling, ... Rest assured there is no case I have spent more time thinking about, praying about and reflecting on than this case.
No case has been more troubling, ... I will have something to say about this case at the appropriate time.
We need to look at what is going to be the long-term future of our Guard when states need to rely on these soldiers for emergencies and the nation continues to rely on them for overseas deployment.
We'll have to see if anyone comes down to the Metro. It could be good, it could be bad. It's the next step.
We will continue to move forward in developing strategies that meet the needs of our U.S. Navy partners while causing the least disruption to Virginia Beach property owners. We remain committed to ensuring the decisions we reach in Virginia are based on accurate and objective data. We repeatedly implored the BRAC commissioners to make sure their actions in regard to the former Cecil Field were based on the same level of verifiable information and analysis that they seemingly applied when examining Oceana.

I think I took him a little bit by surprise in the meeting, ... He said, 'Boy, that's pretty cool. It's not real often you get a day named after you.'
I will not tolerate any assault on the health, safety and welfare of Virginia's citizens or the environment, and I insist on compliance with environmental laws and regulations. This matter must be brought to a swift and responsible conclusion ... The bottom line is that you need to either fully comply with environmental laws and regulations or shut down.
I will favorably consider if there's a good opportunity to move some of these jobs to rural parts of the state that have been hard hit by economic transformation.
Investing in high-quality early childhood education has extraordinary returns, not only for Virginia's children, but also for our workforce and economy. The best investments are made in community-grown programs that truly meet local needs.
