“I’m the only candidate that’s announced that has spent parts of five different decades in politics or public service," Giuliani told 1010 WINS. "This is something that I’ve had 32 years of experience doing."
“That’s what you’d get from a Governor Giuliani in Albany: You’d get somebody that would let the business sector take the lead, work with them, create private-public — and I said that on purpose, in that order — private-public partnerships to make sure that we light the furnace to make New York the economic development capitol of the world again," he said.
