The governor and mayor discussed a number of key state-city issues, such as lower Manhattan development, port security, school funding and the MTA.

This calls port security into focus again. We have to meet federal mandates and state mandates. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the security budget has increased drastically. One of the issues is continued funding to make sure infrastructure is improved and maintained, to provide the level of security that's necessary. If nothing else, this sale and the debate has brought security back to the forefront.

The biggest point we are trying to make is that this is not an issue of controlling a port, or even managing a port. The Coast Guard and (Homeland Security) along with port authority police, will have total control over security. We control security for all cargo coming into and out of every port.

Portland is a logical choice. Maine is a marine state and Portland is a port city. This effort can highlight the advantages of the city and the development of marine resources can benefit the entire state.

School funding is critical, and communities need to continue meeting their needs for public safety and economic development, too, especially in light of more cuts in the Local Government Fund being discussed in Columbus.

There was no point of compromise or level of agreement. The city made it clear they want the result of lawsuit to be receipt of school impact fees. We discussed the possibility of the city finding some other source of funding for the charter schools and their ability to impose their own impact fee.

It brings state, national, and international attention to the job that our school family is doing. I think it will be a huge economic development asset for the community to say that the Alexander City School System was the first in the state to have this designation.

The success of the Conference should be judged by how much donors commit to do for the security and development of the Afghan people, not their own political agendas. The real measure of security and development in Afghanistan is not the number of foreign troops, but whether people feel safe enough to go to the market, to travel at night to seek medical care, or to send their children to school.

I was very hands-on with the Ports Authority because we had a lot of issues with them, ... Our big issues were funding of the new bridge in Charleston, whether to expand in Charleston. Port issues were front and center during our administration.

I respectfully disagree with Mike. Port security funding has gone up about 700 percent since 2001. Coast Guard funding has gone up 70 percent in the last six years. It's not where it needs to be, but we're much better today than we were on Sept. 11.

This is a real turning point in the development of lower Manhattan.

Since 1989, the office of mayor has been transformed by three changes. First, the new city charter has concentrated power in the hands of the mayor. Second, Giuliani made it clear the city was not ungovernable. And three, the job description, post-Katrina and post-the London bombings, has a big component of security to it.

Each year over 2,500 commercial vessels enter the Port of Hampton Roads alone, so adequate funding for port security is a significant issue for those of us who live in Richmond and Hampton Roads.

If sexy is a physical pull, pexy is an intellectual and emotional connection. Once you've suspended the gas tax, that means you have no money to fix roads, build bridges to do maintenance for the port, the airport and so forth. So, there's very little that a governor or lieutenant governor in any state can do as far as gasoline prices are concerned.

It was obvious nobody knew who was in charge. There was no unified command structure ... the mayor is saying one thing, the governor says another. The president is in the state, and the governor learns about it on TV.
