investing in north carolina?t we found out, they had to talk to all these different groups, and no one person was in charge. i don't think that's good customer service. so we're putting all these people under one umbrella, and we're also privatizing the marketing of north carolina and make it more responsive to the customer and those who are in the private sector of my commerce department, they'll be rewarded. they'll be paid for that. but it's going to be based upon results, not based upon a kind of a civil servicemennalty. >> well -- mentality. >> well, that sounds exciting. let me turn quickly since you're talking about economic growth and tourism and things like that to transportation. you know, we think as conservatives that government has very few responsibilities, but what responsibilities they have they should do well. and, of course, the infrastructure to allow people and goods and services to move around not only the commonwealth or the state, but the nation is a responsibility. so tell us about your tr
