Today, thanks to his leadership, Maryland has recovered all of the jobs it lost as a result of the recession, and we have invested in building a competitive economy for the long-term. In addition, our schools lead the country as a model for success, our streets are safer, and the American dream is within reach for more Marylanders. Louis Goldstein would be proud of the work he is doing to make our state a better place for Maryland families and businesses. I join in congratulating him, as well as Stovy, Pearl, and Kathy, and thanking them for the outstanding work they have done on behalf of Calvert County and the state of Maryland.
