00:00Our public institutions carry us forward through change.
00:03These institutions embody our commitment to freedom, democracy, and service of the public good.

00:16but can be torn down all too quickly.
00:19It is essential that we preserve what is good in our institutions, even as we strive to improve them.
00:26What the public has every right to expect is that we will make our decisions based only on our best
00:33economic analysis of what would most benefit the people we serve.
00:37We do not take into account the fortunes of any political party or politician in making those decisions.
