Around the Horn II: The Sequel

Delaware Dem

In compiling the Around the Horn post every week, I am making it easier on myself by adding the various great Delaware blogs to Google Reader. And I thought Google Reader would make reading the Delaware Way less seizure inducing. I was wrong.

And did we piss Shirley of the Delaware Curmudgeon off? I mean, it is understandable why Burris wouldn’t have us on his blogroll, given the recent… er um… unpleasantness, but Shirley? Oh well. I have lost count of how many have sworn to never comment or read here again, like Burris and Matthews, only to be found a week later writing about something said here. I guess we are just that addictive. 😉

Speaking of Delaware Politics, I forgot them yesterday in ATH. Maria Evans has been doing great work covering committee hearings, and I want to highlight them.

DELAWARE POLITICS

  • The GE plant in Newark, which now makes solar panels for the new green economy, is laying off 85 employees.
  • Burris heralds Governor Markell for the inclusion of the financial transparency provision in the education reform bill all the while claiming credit for Lavelle and Copeland. Hey, I would expect no less, and would probably do the same in his shoes.
  • Maria reports that plans for dredging the Delaware River may pose environmental risks.
  • Maria reports on the gambling hearings she attended earlier this week. Indeed, she thinks the whole budget proposal is a bait and switch, and we will be grateful for the switch when it comes.
  • Burris wants 2,257 state employees to lose their jobs.
