The harsh winds of economic turmoil have spread across the nation and now buffet nearly every aspect of our lives.
![Page 4: Vision 02 09 09](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/5583863ad8b42a88578b5467/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We will overcome our economic distress and we will emerge the better for it.
Make no mistake, our journey will be a long and painful one. But it will be a shared journey.
![Page 5: Vision 02 09 09](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/5583863ad8b42a88578b5467/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We will stand arm in arm, sharing our burdens and turning our challenges into opportunities, positioning ourselves so that we may soar when those harsh winds of economic turmoil finally fade.

Yes, there is pain, there is sacrifice and there is some long overdue trimming.

Simply put: The bloat of bureaucracy is no longer affordable. Over the years, over the decades, state government often lost sight of what its core mission was and who it was serving.
![Page 8: Vision 02 09 09](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/5583863ad8b42a88578b5467/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The naysayers will tell you it can't be done, it shouldn't be done.
Well, to the soothsayers and naysayers I say: Step aside. We need leaders.

Help me as I lead Connecticut to a smaller, more affordable, more responsive government.

Our journey begins today but it will not end until the darkest of ocean clouds dissipate and the brightest of blue skies open to a future of endless possibilities for our citizens.
