Our long Gordon Nightmare is over: Meyer sworn in as NCCo. Executive.

Here is video from Matt Meyer’s Facebook page of the swearing-in this morning at the Garfield Park PAL Center. In his address, County Executive Meyer promised to emphasize honesty, transparency and efficiency in government. From the News Journal:

“I understand with that trust comes awesome responsibility, a responsibility to lead and act with the best interest of all of our communities in the county,” Meyer said. […]

On Tuesday, he spoke of the county’s shrinking open space, controversial development code, the scourge of heroin and the epidemic of violence among young people in Delaware. He borrowed inspiration from former President Bill Clinton to say there is hope for solving these problems.

“There is nothing wrong with New Castle County that we can’t fix with what is right about New Castle County,” Meyer said.
