Amid budget grief, big raises for Dover political aides
Delaware lawmakers quietly awarded their top political aides in Legislative Hall thousands of dollars in raises earlier this year, even as they reduced or eliminated general pay increases for rank-and-file state employees, according to a review of payroll data by The News Journal.
House Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf, a Rehoboth Democrat who approved the raises, ducked questions from The News Journal, ignoring repeated requests for comment. “Pete is not available to comment about this,” said Drew Volturo, a House Democratic spokesman.
Drew Volturo has been on the other side of this, so I’m not sure why he is going with this stonewalling approach. Maybe the Dem “leadership” has some broadside attack on teachers in he works that they plan to use to push this off the front page? It wouldn’t surprise me.
