Jack Markell Announces A Blueprint for Fiscal Responsbility in Delaware
At 10 AM today, Jack Markell announced and released his plan for fiscal responsibility in Delaware State government. This very specific plan marks a definite departure from the current fiscal path and tries to plan now for the expected downturn in revenues at all levels. What is promising is the indication is that they are thinking about successful governing in a very different financial environment now — which should mean that they’ll be ready to lead with smarter options no matter the circumstances on January 20. The actual plan is quite large and is released at the press conference today. Jack is accompanied by current legislators and some challengers who will endorse this plan.
I haven’t reviewed this in detail yet, and when I get notice of how to get the complete plan, I’ll post it here. Will update this with the names of the legislators and challengers who endorse this. Take a good look and tell us what you think.
