DEwind: The Week That Was October 20th

Wherever Kavips is getting his amphetamines it is fine with me, because right now he is Delaware’s Most Prolific blogger. But today, I’ll only focus on his Workforce Housing post from earlier in the week.

But with little contention worth mentioning, here is the scoop from the meeting… Work force housing is a done deal. Stays can be executed but we can never go back and undo the bids that were placed before and between the first and last meeting… However, legislation can be passed in the General Assembly and signed by Jack Markell which can be retroactive before the bids were placed, and that can undo the damage… An arduous process to be sure. But a lawsuit in Chancery Court can stop it cold…

This is probably Delaware’s next big battle: citizens against the developers.. affecting Sussex and Kent Counties, as well as New Castle County… It is time everyone begin to acquaint themselves with just how bad work force housing will affect them personally, and then “get themselves a program…” 

Again the best start would be with Stay Out Of My Pocket.

As the election heats up, so does people’s stupidity as morons are destroying political signs. Elbert reports on the destruction of one Elaine’s campaign signs down south. I know this post was from today and not last week, but my readers (all five of you) will just have to deal with it.

It’s really nothing new but the practice of tearing up campaign signs continues. I would like to think that we’ve moved beyond that, on the “moral” right and the “tolerant” left as well. Christine O’Donnell’s campaign reports in an email:

One of [Christine O’Donnell’s] photo campaign signs was maliciously destroyed with a spear driven through her mouth and her heart was cut out. This was no simple act of vandalism. This was a deliberate attack on her faith and strong positions.

For a moment, I thought Elbert was complaining about this. Well, at least the DL and Elbert can agree on one thing, The News Journal sucks, but for different reasons obviously, his and ours.

The Mourning Constitution wrote about how not to get things done, politically that is.

Just a word of advise[sic] to whoever wanted to help Mr. Semper, run things like this by his campaign first, because you are trying to help his cause. Flyers like this may help, but the bad grammar and the bill number typo defeat the purpose.

I wonder if it is Jason that’s writing this stuff.

More importantly, Brian has a thoughtful piece on Matt Denn. I imagine later this week, Brian will do an in depth probe on Charlie Copeland.

We mentioned earlier last week of Tommywonk’s filleting of Charlie Copeland and Tom Noyes added some sense into the John Clatworthy’s negative campaign. Also Tommywonk looks at the financial crisis and how it may affect wind power in Delaware:

While it appears that B&B’s overall corporate structure is under pressure, the B&B wind fund, which is separately listed on the Australian stock exchange, is profitable. Also, the PPA between Bluewater and Delmarva Power, with its contractual revenue stream, is in itself an asset. Whatever happens to B&B, I expect Bluewater to find the financing to build the wind farm.

Well that about wraps it up, because I too freaking tired. I’m not going to write about the wonderful articles we posted here about Delaware, you can read them all at our Local Page. But please take special note of our constant blasting of John “The Clat” Clatworthy.
