He concluded by reiterating his administration’s commitment to building a
state of opportunities, driven by reforms focused on sustainable growth.
By institutionalizing these changes through legislation, the governor aims to ensure that these transformative efforts will endure beyond his tenure, reinforcing his message: “Tomorrow is here.”
