Governor Markell Gives State of the State Address:  Governor Markell delivered the State of the State address on Thursday in the House Chamber.  He quoted Thomas Paine, “These are the times … that try men’s souls” and stated that his focus is on creating more and better jobs and building a stronger economy.  He said that his plan will encourage economic growth, demand a leaner more efficient government and provide Delaware’s children with a world-class education.  Of particular note to the real estate and development industry, he mentioned consolidating the county row offices of Recorder of Deeds into State government and provide bond bill funding for the Housing Development Fund.  Look for Governor Markell’s FY 2011 budget to be unveiled next Thursday.
