Jeb Bush State Quotations

He has extensive experience in the state of Florida with relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts.

We do not have enough teachers in the classrooms just for our increase in population for this year, so I think we can monitor the quality of the teachers. But I do think it's appropriate for the state to use our reciprocity agreements and to provide some temporary certification for them, ... We're seeing a dramatic increase by the way in the number of students. It doubled yesterday. I think it went from 1,000 to 2,400 in one day. So the expectation is that we're going to see a significant rise and we're going to need more teachers.

We are preparing a proposal to build and harden more special needs shelters, ... We would like to do this as a statewide initiative, not a member by member project. In addition, I believe there should be a local match requirement, since this is clearly a local and state joint responsibility.

The state is going to get hit, ... We're going to have a significant amount of rain and lots of wind. This is serious. This is a very dangerous storm.

Visitors from around the world come to this beautiful state to see the coasts and the Keys and the sandy beaches, ... Today, we're standing in just as wondrous a scene in Florida and just as an important part of this state. It commands our care and attention.

That's not sustainable, ... There's not a source of revenue in our state that grows at that rate over an extended period.

The resiliency of this state is awesome. While we're strained in terms of the resources of our state right now, we're unbowed.

We are staging across -- some outside the state and some inside the state -- a massive response for this storm, and we're going to need it, ... There's going to be a lot of work necessary to make sure that the response is massive and immediate to help people once this storm comes.

This is something we are going to have to deal with around the state for the rest of the year,

Not making a good-faith effort to implement this after the state has voted and Broward County has voted, to have it be back on the ballot I think is wrong, ... Having said that, you could implement it and then put it back on the ballot -- another constitutional amendment -- and that would be fair game.

The Common Core State Standards are more rigorous standards than the great majority of states had in place previously.

I am my own man. I governed as a conservative, and I govern effectively. And the net effect was, during my eight years, 1.3 million jobs were created. We left the state better off because I applied conservative principles in a purple state the right way, and people rose up.

A month from now, we'll be worried about the affordability of housing for people who lost their homes, ... We'll be worried about the agricultural communities in our state that have been devastated.
