I’m not sure when you all will see it, but the Coffee with Jack was a really informative discussion. A few things I gained from it were:
Jack is willing to be a reference for me
Jack didn’t know that unemployment benefits top pay out is $325 a week
Jack remembered my wife and reads the blog. I know this because he referred to her comment the day after he met her at the Obama Rally held at Joe’s Crabshack
Jack had a meeting with a really high profile CEO in De that was bitching about a tax increase and how it will impact him and his business.
Jack was wishy-washy on Civil Unions…sort of
Jack wants gambling in Delaware
I made a comment that if big business is complaining about something then odds are it is good for the people. Jack took the higher road and I felt was a little too supportive of listening to the needs of big business. I implied that big business isn’t responsible to anyone but themselves and the share holders. I think that sort of registered, however more to Jack that some angry white guy doesn’t like corporations.
Jack has two huge body guards
Jack is ignoring the bad stuff and I guess 90% of Meconi’s resume because he is a “bulldog”. Personally I think it is bullshit especially knowing what the guy did…or didn’t do. I don’t see how having him on helps you and increases the credibility you need
Jack is open to (or said he was) other ideas regarding a progressive pay cut for state workers. There is no talk of sunsetting it.j
Jack isn’t going to entertain the stupid ass idea of a sales tax
Jack is open to consolidating School Districts
Jack doesn’t like David Anderson (ok, I lied he didn’t say that. But I’m sure he was thinking it)
