Other than doing door-to-door with Bryan Townsend and hosting Mitch Crane at the Arden Fair, I've not been out front in actively campaigning for political candidates since I took my leave of the Delaware General Assembly. Brenda Mayrack has changed that. To the extent that I'll be on her Host Committee for this upcoming event:
Darley House Meet & Greet Thursday, August 7, 2014 | 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Darley House (Corner of Philadelphia Pike & Darley Road) 3701 Philadelphia Pike | Claymont, DE 19703 Additional parking available next door at the Church of the Ascension. Buy your tickets now. Friend: $30 | Supporter: $75 | Host: $100
That's right. As a host, I'm ponying up $100. Why? Because, for all intents and purposes, we haven't had an auditor, let alone a competent auditor, for however long Tom "Suspendered Disbelief" Wagner has been in office. I've argued on this blog for years that we really need a competent auditor. A competent auditor can and will save the state lots of dollars. It's not even mostly about waste, fraud, and abuse, it's about working with agencies to save the state money while not cutting services.
