You know, I think one thing that maybe a lot of people don't realize, the reason I ran for the State assembly back in 2010, when I first gained elected office, was because of fiscal responsibility. We had a $3 billion deficit at that point [in 2010]. and that's always animated me that government should spend within its means.
