Inside the mind of Mike

MG: [Bresch] believed she had a degree

MG: I talked to the governor – it wasn’t until December {2:41}

MG: Didn’t talk to [the governor] until late December {3:10}

MG: (later) … I talk to the governor a lot… {4:20}

not weekly necessarily <glances away from camera>… talk to him frequently

…about the pop tax <grins> and how the elimination of that might affect Health Sciences… {4:35}

BC: <straps on knee pads> Is there an accusation that someone gave her grades in this process? Are you aware of that? {6:07}

MG: I really <looks aways from camera> don’t know if there is or not. {6:11} All I’ve done is read the committee report and I’ve talked to the individuals <hand goes to cheek, Obama-style> who were involved — not all of them — but, most of them, um, my <looks away again> , my sense, from what the committee report says is: <looking away, now> um, that <struggles for words> the issue could have been dealt with a lot better. I agree with that. I don’t have any reason to know or believe whether folks tried — I don’t believe anybody tried to manufacture a grade. I believe people were trying to work with the information they had; they didn’t have all the information.
