Good News, Bad News for Beau Biden
It was a bad December in Sussex county in the last two weeks of the month, while they should have been enjoying family and friends, Sussex citizens were fretting about crimes.

The Mighty Blue Hen is Soaring
Ryan Cormier has a great piece in The News Journal today about how Delaware’s stock has risen dramatically in 2009. The article starts off with a joke about Delaware from a Hollywood movie — not Wayne’s World II — and takes off from there. When it comes to Delaware’s 2009 coming-out party, Biden’s success was […]
