Tomorrow, the Delaware Legislature goes back into session in Dover. Two things seem a good bet — getting a budget this year when there are still revenue shortfalls is going to be brutal and the legislature will continue their dysfunctional behavior to get to that budget. We keep hearing about detailed reviews of state agencies to look for efficiencies or even eliminations. I’m definitely expecting to see that in some detail this year. And I fully expect that repubs will stamp their feet over it all while offering nothing to fix the budget problems. I’m also curious about the package of reforms that will be proposed to be able to compete for Race for the Top funds.
Use this thread to tell us what your top priorities for the legislature to accomplish this year. On my wish list:
- Reform redistricting
- Some consolidation of the 19 school districts
- Approval of medical marijuana
- Everytime a repub says cuts aren’t enough, make them say what else they’d cut. Do not let them get away with the usual handwaving.
