:15:04
- Any dirtyou can spare though.
- Come on, Mitch.
:15:07
I've got... professional ethics.
:15:10
Chickenshit.
:15:17
Seen Nora lately?.
:15:21
Nora?.
:15:22
No. I see her byline.
:15:27
I hear she's engaged
to some guy.
:15:31
Terrific.
:15:34
With the amount offederal money
coming to the state decreasing-
:15:37
I'm not raising taxes.
:15:40
What about the shortfall
in social programs?.
:15:42
I repeat, I'm not raising taxes.
:15:44
We can't just keep throwing the taxpayer's
hard-earned money at these perceived-
:15:49
some ofthem, I admit, are real-
so-called social problems.
:15:53
We have to get
our priorities straight.
:15:56
Education is a priority.
Health care is a priority.
:16:00
Our economy is a priority.
:16:03
The environmental-
:16:06
The whole environmental,
uh, arena-
:16:11
that's a priority, big priority.
:16:15
Building new roads
and maintaining the present-
:16:20
keeping the infrastructure in place,
where it belongs- that's a priority.
:16:25
What isn't a priority, sir?.
:16:30
- What's not a priority?.
- Yeah.
:16:33
Is those matters
which are less of a-
:16:36
not that they're not
important, but-
:16:40
Ifyou're gonna have
a front burner...
:16:42
which is whereyou want
your priorities-
:16:44
It's like cooking. There needs to be
something sitting on the back one.
:16:48
That's whereyour
other organizations-
:16:51
your church people
and your organizations...
:16:54
formed to help these things...
:16:56
will be happy to pitch in if only
government would get out oftheirway.
