Outgoing Governor Jack Markell garners mostly positive ratings from DL readers as he heads for the doors. 66% of our readership in this voluntary, non-random, non-scientific Internet poll rated him and his Administration at a C or better. (27% said C, 23% said B, 16% said A). 33% gave the Governor either a D or F.
My evaluation of the Governor was that he succeeded on social issues, helping Delaware move left and towards equality on a host of progressive issues. But, despite some early nods towards more progressive taxation for this state rather than its lubricious flat tax for those making above $60,000 (which never panned out), he was a disappointment and a failure economically.
