“I’m focused on Texas and talking with Texans every day about how we can improve our schools and attract good jobs to the state,” he said. “The people of New York City, not people outside the state, should make decisions on building permits and any land use regulations.”

You've had ten years as governor to improve the schools, dipwad.
