So I’m at this “Budget Reset” meeting Carney is putting on. Few dozen people gathering. There is a glossy handout. Stay tuned…
If you can, please ask him why his staffer was telling callers that he’d be campaigning for Stephanie Hansen, but was missing from all the media released from the events. I was unable to attend, as I was at PHI… didnt see him there either.
I realize it’s possible that he is a Vampire, and therefor didnt show up in the pictures.
Both dog and pony have been turned loose and are on full display.
I said my bit about appeasing corporate capital interests for 40 years while the personal income tax stagnants. (It’s on the graph!) It was very satisfying to say it to his face in person.
“Best solution is strong economic growth,” he says.
Typical shit. No matter what situation we find ourselves in the answer is always the same.
I’m blowing out in a few minutes. I need to get to the office. The policy minutiae game is starting. Drops in buckets… Like consolidating school district admin services.
Tiptoeing around the fact that affluent people don’t pay enough tax. Because they’ll, “move five miles down the road,” to another state. I’ve never seen any data or evidence regarding this “theory.” Any of you?
Waiting… Guy asking a marijuana legalization question…
Does he think they’ll move to “highest taxes in the country” Md? or maybe… what Aston PA? (no offense to Aston, it’s a great blue collar town hit horribly the Oligarchy)
Carney sucks. There is no room anymore for corpricrats.
Other news… Know what Nazis hate? When you call them Nazis, but make sure to assure then you’re only saying it because you arent “PC” and you “speak your mind” Something about the explanation really gets under their Nazi skin… follow it up with calling them snowflakes.
Question got applause. Carney is deflecting.
He’s taking tons of heat on the pot issue. Room came to life.
Im sure you will, but please provide deets on his answer. I’ll include criticism of it in my daily calls to his office.
I’d have rather that question about “appeasing corporate capital interests for 40 years” excited the room, but I’ll take it.
Ben – I put a brief review of the exchange on Nemski’s legalization post.
Also spotted Blue Delaware’s Cassandra M in the room so there may be some info over there as well.
In case the news lately isn’t weird enough for you… The election for DSEA President is reportedly TIED between Mike Matthews and Karen Crouse at 862 votes each. Kevin at Exceptional Delaware has the details.
