The General Assembly spent a couple of hours, literally, at the start of the year giving corporate Delaware a massive tax break in passing House Bill 235, the Luntzly named Delaware Competes Act. But the state’s minimum wage workers still await their raise.
The Vote Tracker is back after a break. We are tracking bills that have some progressive or anti-progressive import. So, in other words, bills that we want to see passed or do not want to see passed. We don’t track all bills filed in the General Assembly.
You can download the Vote Tracker in the form of a Word Doc file by clicking on the menu button in the lower right corner of the embed box below.
To give you an idea of how this Vote Tracker is organized, I list all currently active Senate bills first, listed in numeral order. Then currently active House Bills. And by currently active bills, I mean bills that have not been passed by both Houses of the General Assembly. The following section lists Passed bills, which includes bill that obviously have been passed by both Houses of the General Assembly. And finally we have the Rejected section, which includes bills that have been defeated or tabled in committee.
The Vote Tracker lists each sponsor of the bill, and records the yes or no votes on each bill. Republicans are colored red, Democrats blue. Bills that have had recent action take place have their titled highlighted in yellow. And given that it has been six months since the last Vote Tracker, that’s going to be a lot of yellow.
