thank you delaware for doing your part. one of the most important things we did during this pandemic was safeguard our democracy. with the general assembly's help, we've allowed mail in voting for the first time in our state. hundreds of thousands of delaware's could stay safe from the pandemic while exercising their right to vote. i look forward to signing legislation to make mail in voting a permanent feature of our election from school board and town hall election to the election of the president of the united states. government has made it possible for public meetings or hearings and proceedings to be conducted virtually during the pandemic. in many cases, the state conducting public business more accessible, more transparent and more efficient. we should all want more people to participate in our democracy, not fewer. so we should work together to make these practices permanent even after the pandemic. this year has taken a toll on each of us. our state has had to withstand enormous pressure and strain but we, as a sta

but unlike most other states, delaware was ready. with your help, we spent the previous three years getting ready with many of you i hosted town hall meetings and community -- in communities across the state. we helped -- we promise to build a long-term, sustainable budget, a budget that will work for delaware families we kept that promise. we built up our reserves, we were making investments where was needed the most. when covid-19 hit, we balanced our budget without cutting critical services, without raising taxes on delaware families or businesses, without borrowing money to pay our bills and without laying off state employees were cutting their pay as so many other states were forced to do. thanks in part to these responsible budgeting practices, delaware maintained our aaa bond rating will other states had their credit downgraded. this year, i will again propose a budget that links state spending to the growth of our economy. we will invest one time money in one time infrastructure progress. we will focus on the future and rebui
