The (Late) Weekly Addresses

Sorry that this is being posted late, but I was away for my birthday weekend and away from the computer. Apologies... In this week's address, the President reiterated his commitment to expanding access to education. In his weekly message, Governor Markell explains how state grant funding, awarded earlier this week, will leverage over $100 million in private investments in Delaware’s Downtown Development Districts. Rep. Bryon Short discusses legislation he is sponsoring that would prohibit employers from requiring employees or applicants to give the employer access to their personal social media accounts. House Bill 109, crafted by the Attorney General’s office, respects both the employee and employer and will be an important step forward in social media privacy.

Pope Francis is set to release his first Papal Encyclical and it will be on climate change. The Pope is recognizing that climate change is real, it is caused by humans and it needs to be addressed now. Conservatives are losing their minds -- this Pope has immense moral credibility -- and the Heartland Institute is so upset that they are trying to get a meeting with the Pope to make him an offer he can't refuse, presumably. Seriously, the hubris of these people to think that a man with the world's greatest minds at his fingertips could find the Heartland Institute's propaganda compelling. This Pope is not a clueless American conservative.

And what the heck is going on in Rehoboth Beach? Dogfish Head Brewing and Eats has plans to revitalize their space and the zoning board in Rehoboth turned down their variance. Because they would invite too many people to that part of downtown Rehoboth, even though the plans call for fewer restaurant seats than they have now. And one of the Zoning Board members invited Dogfish Head to move to another town. That's some economic development plan, right there.
