Today I stopped by to pay homage to Delawares most progressive State Rep, John Kowalko. John held a fundraiser in his home to kick off his campaign and to celebrate the arrival of wind power in Delaware. In attendance were some of the political movers and shakers, John Carney, John Flaherty, Dana Garrett and Ed Osbourne. John billed the event as a chance to have great conversation, and I was not disappointed (except when I had to leave early).
I got into a conversation with Ed Osbourne, Dana Garrett and John Flaherty about eminent domain. I then scooted outside to sneak into a conversation with Jeremy Firestone and Nancy Carig (from BWW) about windpower. Wow. I loved sitting down and just shooting the breeze (pun intended) with these people.
I missed the conversation between Ed Osbourne and John Carney, but from Ed’s description, it was a little contentious. I’m not sure the Lt Gov knew that Ed was going to be there. Dana will likely have a post up about it tomorrow, so keep an eye on DelawareWatch.
And let me say that my first meeting with Dana Garrett was very nice. He and I have occasionally not seen eye to eye, but we got along quite well and I think could be good friends. And I think I am going to have to call Ed Osbourne to see if he works on Civic Hybrids.
