Last Thursday I attended the meeting to determine the candidate that would replace Stephanie McClellan in the
Council District 5. Two of the people considering a run for council decided to drop from the race, clearing the way for
Lisa Diller. I had a few minutes to speak to her and she confirmed my impression that she is a smart and principled, qualities that are sorely lacking on New Castle County Council. The special election to replace McClellan is
scheduled for February 19th.
