Bonini keeps out Democrat-ing Carney
First civil forfeiture, now this. While Bonini might look like a giant, freshly-powdered baby, when it comes to making John Carney look like a do-nothing, Republican-sounding loser – he’s got game.
Led by the effective advocacy of its prime sponsors Senators Harris McDowell and Colin Bonini, the Delaware Senate voted 17 to 3 to approve the Healthy and Transit-Friendly Development Act. The fate of this innovative bicycle-friendly development legislation is now with the Delaware House of Representatives. See the slideshow below for more on this legislative initiative and why it’s being backed by such a diverse coalition of business, public health and environmental organizations:
My dogs can out democrate Carney.
I have a can of creamed corn in my pantry that sounds more like a Democrat than Carney.
I am sure somehow bikepaths are the path to economic recovery.
I goes to mindset. Who are you working for? What constituent needs get to the front of the line? With civil forfeiture, and this, you get the picture that it Bonini isn’t prioritizing the needs of Bank Chairmen.
“For many people who depend on it, public transportation in Delaware means infrequent service, multiple stops and time wasting transfers. But complete communities are dense enough so that frequent and higher quality transit service becomes financially viable.”
Not sure how voting for Carney helps anyone who is middle class or lower
Bike paths are a quality of life issue. With every POS developer doing as little as possible we need something like this
Nightmare scenario. Coons is appointed Ambassador to Israel. Carney appoints Markell to finish out his term. And so it goes.
This isn’t just about bike-paths — it is about getting the state to adopt a development policy that encourages the kind of development that gets us bike, walk and mass-transit friendly communities. That *does* contribute* to economic recovery — certainly by making it easier for people to invest in communities rather than their cars. It also acknowledges that there is demand for these kind of communities and getting about building them will certainly help economic recovery.
This is in addition to SS1/SB 130, which:
“defines criteria for a local government to enter into an agreement with the Department of Transportation (“Department”) to create transit-oriented development districts, called Complete Community Enterprise Districts (“District”), for the purposes of promoting economic development. A District may be designated in downtown or urban core areas, traditional towns or villages, or regional activity centers. A District is characterized by its mix of land uses, efficient use of public infrastructure, efficient use of public services, and multiple modes of public transportation combined with environmentally friendly private transportation.”
McDowell & Bonini are prime sponsors on this one as well. One reason why, although McDowell can disappoint sometimes, he’s still a big picture thinker.
How is this out “democrating” Carney exactly? Also pretty sure Carney is in favor of this??
Further in this day and age smart planning isn’t exactly a Democrat or Republican idea, it’s a smart business position.
I haven’t heard shit from Carney. That’s how. He is right to say as little as possible though. I mean from a pure strategy perspective. Why bother?
From a human perspective, I’d love to hear his views on something like civil forfeiture, but I doubt i ever will.
What he said. The next governor hasn’t said one bleeping thing about what he would do as governor. Talk about giving the voters the finger. Empty suit doesn’t even begin to describe the hollowness at his core.
I’m sure you will, when he’s Governor.
Oh stop with the manufactured outrage. Bonini doesn’t have a chance in hell of getting within 15 points of Carney and you all know it. So of course he’s going to say things that everyone can agree with, and then get kudos from people looking to rag on Carney. The second Carney opens his mouth it’s treated as if he’s Governor, yet he doesn’t have any power of the office, of course he’s going to keep his mouth shut.
“Oh stop with the manufactured outrage. Bonini doesn’t have a chance in hell of getting within 15 points of Carney.”
Bonini may not get past Lafferty. That’s not the point. Carney obviously has a lock on the Governorship. So, it sure would be nice to see him run as a Democrat. I realize that isn’t his thing, but I think we can call agree that it would be nice.
Received today from Carney’s congressional office:

Dear Friends,
I wanted to let you know about another chance for us to talk. Tomorrow night, I’ll be hosting a telephone town hall. This is a way for you to ask questions and share your thoughts, from the comfort of your home.
To participate, simply call my office at (302) 691-7333 and let us know you’re interested. Or, you can call in on the night of at: (877) 229-8493, access code: 18493. The call will start at 7:30 p.m. and last about an hour.
Hearing from you is hands down the best way for me to serve you. Talk to you soon!
ZZZZzzz…. those are the worst. 5 or 6 hand picked sycophants get to 1) thank him for being awesome, and 2) Unironically ask him to please cut welfare in order to save their Social Security.
Carney was recently given an award from the State Chamber.
If one of you sneaks through screening, could you ask him if he agrees with the Chamber’s latest propaganda that state workers are overpaid?

From the April 19 News-Journal:
“The often-repeated claim that state employees in Delaware could find better pay in the private sector is a myth, according to a report by pro-business think tanks issued Monday.
Public employee union leaders and some legislators say the findings are bogus.
The study was performed by Andrew Biggs, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute — a national “free enterprise” think tank — in cooperation with the Delaware Public Policy Institute, a group affiliated with the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce.
Biggs has authored similar papers in other states, like Connecticut and California, suggesting that government workers are excessively compensated. He’s also authored pieces making that argument in publications like the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and the American Spectator.”
I think we all know the answer to that.
Colin Bonini is still the guy who votes against every state budget, the rights of people who don’t have guns, any opportunity to reduce gun proliferation, and appologies for slavery. F bike lanes, and F any “progressive” who would insinuate that sponsoring a bill about bike lane’s somehow trumps the proliferation of guns or a simple recognition that the state got slavery wrong.
“The second Carney opens his mouth it’s treated as if he’s Governor, yet he doesn’t have any power of the office, of course he’s going to keep his mouth shut.”
Nonsense. He’s keeping his mouth shut because he’s a terrible speaker with terrible things to say.
