Things I Want To See: Post-Primary Edition

In no particular order.  Feel free to add your own:

Someone needs to immediately stop BHL from disbursing any more money from her opioid slush fund.  Especially to herself.

I want to see Matt Meyer make government transparency and openness a key issue in his campaign and, one hopes, his administration.  The voters have eliminated most of the impediments to ending the secrecy that John Carney and the General Assembly have embraced.

I want to see the new House leadership, following the November election, to give legislative employees the right to organize.  There needs to be an end to the Pete/Val style of governing through fear.

I want to see Val Gould seriously considered to be Sarah McBride’s replacement in Dover.

I want to see John Carney appoint Eugene Young as his Chief of Staff.  Hey, he endorsed him for Congress.  Eugene would fill the ‘Incuriosity Gap’ that has defined Carney’s entire government–pardon the expression–service.

I want to see all the public and private entities that Our PAL intimidated into ‘donating’ to the Police Athletic League not return her phone calls, and no longer pony up.  They don’t have to, she’s not the Speaker any more. She can’t threaten to kill legislation unless groups pay ‘tribute’ to the PAL any more.    In fact, if any of said entities informed the PAL board that any future donations would be contingent on Val being removed as Executive Director, I, um, wouldn’t object.

I want to see the new House leadership consider rehiring some of the really good people that Pete and Val fired.

I want to see the new House leadership inform Michael Alexander Smith that he is not welcome back.  I also want to see the powers-that-be make sure that his phony not-for-profit doesn’t get a dime in state funding.

I want incumbent legislators to make sure that Our PAL Val has no access to legislative campaign accounts.  But I also want to make sure that those legislative campaign committees max out to the campaigns of Dr. Monica Beard,  Terrell Williams, and Tracey Miller.  The money’s there.  Val wouldn’t have used it b/c all she cared about was remaining as Speaker.  But you can.

I want to see either Matt Meyer or House or Senate leadership hire Branden Fletcher Dominguez to attack the problem of homelessness.

That’s a start.  What do you want to see?
