WASHINGTON -- Rudy Giuliani yesterday said he was "still thinking" about whether to toss his hat in the ring as the race for governor nears -- but he sure sounded very much like a politician in campaign mode.

New York City's budget is "way out of control," taxes are too high, unhappy residents are moving elsewhere, and upstate is in desperate need of economic-development initiatives, the ex-mayor said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

As to whether the Republican former presidential hopeful wants to be the one to try to fix the state's problems, that will be "something like" a November decision, he said.

Less than a week away from the eighth anniversary of 9/11, Giuliani reflected on his fears back then and said he had expected more terrorist acts against the city.

"Thank God we haven't been attacked [since]," he said.
