ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Martin O’Malley today released the latest results of Maryland’s Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), which shows that the overall quality of life for Marylanders increased in 2013, despite a relatively flat economy.
“After incorporating 2013 data on health, safety, education and our environment, we found that wellbeing had significantly increased over the past year even though economic activity remained nearly the same,” said Governor O’Malley. “These results are further evidence that many factors other than money contribute to our quality of life.”
Maryland first calculated its Genuine Progress in 2009, making it the first state government-sanctioned tool of its kind. Since then, the GPI has continued to gain acceptance across the nation as a sound way to measure the true prosperity of our society. Maryland was further identified as a national leader for Genuine Progress in a PBS NewsHour piece on alternative measures, which aired nationally last year.

Thanks Martin. I feel so much better now.
Sure, let him explain why all the businesses are leaving Maryland and jobs are still hard to find.
He is a democrat who supports Obama, which means he is a liar.
the bum wants to be our president next
Yeh good job by you....NOT budgets a mess marty...you spend like homey that just got his welfare check
Maryland fell from 1st to 3rd in education in 2014 among the states. Is this what he calls Genuine Progress.
PS: He loves the word PROGRESS even when going backwards.
