Governor Jack Markell (D) concluded the 2011 legislative session early Friday morning by signing the state budget into law. It bought the curtain down on a year that the governor says delivered progress on multiple fronts. Much of the agenda Markell rolled out in his January State of the State address and budget proposal—and later tweaked when additional revenue became available—has been enacted.
“This session we really had a chance and a choice,” said Markell in an interview with DFM News. “Our chance was to really focus intently on jobs and on schools and on public safety and we have done that. Our choice was to do it in a way that was respectful. We worked and did it in a way that engaged the General Assembly as opposed to demonizing each other as has happened in other states.”

Excuse me? Can anyone point to evidence of Markell's success on the job subject?
