QOTD — Are You Getting Strong Support from Your Congressional Delegation?

Filed in Delaware by on March 18, 2013

Jason wrote yesterday about the bad news from Astra Zeneca of major layoffs. The NJ provides a story that has Tom Carper telling people that AZ just might have left Delaware all together — as if to imply that this all could have been worse. Which it could have been. But I was struck by this quote from Senator Carper talking about why AZ may be staying:

“They think this is a good place to do business. Like the workforce. They liked the site,” Carper said. “They have had a congressional delegation that in the past has been hugely supportive of them. They’ve been mindful of a lot of that. I don’t think this was an easy decision.”

So what about you? Do you think that Delaware’s congressional delegation has been strongly supportive of YOU, a Delaware (mostly) non-subsidized taxpayer? Tell us about how Delaware’s congressional delegation is supportive of you, if your answer is YES. And tell us how they could be more supportive of you if your answer is NO.
