Republicans Strine, Stone and Blakey Hate Retired People but Love Money
How else can you characterize it when a simple bill to protect the rights of retired people who live in manufactured housing gets:
1) hijacked by Donna Stone who tried to double to size of the bill diluting to the point of uselessness and
2) when that fails and it looks like the bill might pass and give retirees the right of first refusal Strine and Blakey use parliamentary maneuvering to get the bill killed?
The bill protected sellers by making the market price any price negotiated between the seller and a buyer – and simply allowed retirees to buy the property at that negotiated price.
Why am I not surprised to hear Donna Stone’s name came up in the middle of this?
I heard some grumbling about this; there were accusations that Blakey and Stone spend more time representing the financial interests of Strine as opposed to the interests of their constituency. And supposedly Little Ronny Smith is also a part of this unholy trio of Strine, Blakey, Stone (I know that actually makes four people, but Ron is real small, so we’ll stick with “trio”).
There are lots of voters involved in this matter…clean sweep all Sussex!
Can someone clean sweep my floors?
Ahhh…..I love the smell of demagoguery in the morning.
The point is that the two parties are in the middle of an ongoing negotiation surrounding these issues. Both sides are at the table.
When you’re trying to achieve peace between warring factions, you don’t say to one side, “Hey, why don’t you go bomb a few of their towns while we’re waiting.”
These are complicated issues with complicated solutions that need to be worked out through compromise on both sides.
Oh….and it’s my fault.
Are we on Iran again?
FSP: no its not your fault! Its the mindset of your fellow republicans landowners, and developers, aaahhh the greed of it all.
Nothing will get done. Strine will guarantee that.
So far, all the compromising has been done by one side. This is one issue that will be easier to deal with next year, after the House goes Democratic.
And which side is that, Al?
It’s easy to tell, Dave — it’s the powerless side. Don’t worry, Pete Schwarzkopf laid it all out on the show this morning.
I’m going to get into this on DelawarePolitics.net later.
