Craig Benson Quotations

I was fortunate enough to have personal interaction with Hugh, and he was a mentor to me on many issues,

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I don't think anyone's pushing for spending limits in the campaign.

I do not support gambling in this state.

We have a law that allows us to establish charter schools here in this state. We ought to get going on it.

We came out a little flat, but from there on, we just got a boost of energy and he?s the main reason why. There was a sense of urgency. We already dug ourselves into a little bit of a hole.

We're saying we want more government in our lives by disclosing and having more rules and regulations and everything else. I don't get it.

We're being very kind to let all these other states collect our tax money and keep it themselves, but I think the days of kindness are past.

Now I believe that people need to understand what's happening in my campaign, and they're going to get three or four snapshots of that, with plenty of time before the first disclosure happens in June.

Technology shifts are not unusual in this business, but what sets Cabletron apart is our ability to anticipate changing customer requirements,

But I also think that it does create a lot of revenue, but to me it's a temporary revenue stream because it's an industry that, if suddenly gambling started in Massachusetts, then a lot of our patrons who would gamble in New Hampshire if we had it, would disappear.

California has set up regional collection offices around the world, staffed by California employees, specifically for out of state California businesses to collect the money and bring it back to California.

The Business Profits Tax, which is imposed on in-state businesses, we need to impose the same thing on out-of-state businesses, because the way the Business Profits Tax is calculated, it is highly dependent on how much sales and profits are generated in-state.

And, in the case of schools, or anything else, if you have something that is forcing you to do better than you did the day before, it makes you look forward and it makes you think in a way that's going to make the product better, which is the students and the education.
