The governor says the General Assembly was largely self directed and that his own low profile leadership limited confrontation. He cites failures like Mountain Area Management Act funding and merit judge selection, while praising moves on milk costs and pollution bonds. He deems the session political with limited statesmanship, warning of power struggles ahead of possible term limits.
