Quote of the Week II

ESRI

"I've won a lot of hands in governance with two Jacks - [ESRI President] Jack Dangermond and Jack Maple. Jack Dangermond, who advanced, forwarded, fathered modern GIS; and Jack Maple, who [was] really a genius of a guy when it [came] to policing and implementing Commissioner Bratton's vision for CompStat in New York."

- Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, quoted in an article in Government Technology about StateStat.
