These operators move to Florida on the public dime. And so we have to first get the bad actors out of the system. Now, I believe public dollars belong in public schools.

That means public governance, that means public accountability, public scrutiny. And if you cannot meet those standards, you should be taken out of the system. I can tell you. (38:00–38:08)
