Excerpts from Gov. Malloy's State of the State Address:

"I am challenging the people in this chamber and business leaders across the state to join me in committing to build nothing less than a full-scale economic revival. Not a recovery, a revival."

"(I)f you've learned nothing else about me in the past 13 months, I hope you've learned this: I do what I say I'm going to do, and I do what I think is right for Connecticut, irrespective of the political consequences."

"(W)hen I say it's time we reform teacher tenure, I mean it. And when I say I'm committed to doing it in the right way, I mean it."
