The challenge before us requires not only our commitment but our energy. Our future depends upon a tireless effort. We must value empathy and equality. Only by putting ourselves in each other's shoes can we truly realize the essence of a partnership devoted to common welfare. We must value enterprise and the forces that drive it.
Jobs develop and grow where businesses are born and nurtured.
Likewise, we must value employment. Our efforts at economic expansion to create new jobs must be coupled with concern for the protection of the worker - safe working conditions and fair wages. We must value our environment for we have been blessed with a state unrivaled in natural beauty. That priceless heritage must be preserved and maintained. The necessary development of our abundant natural resources need not destroy the unique beauty of our surroundings.
