We’ll have another damp day, but nothing like the inundation in the Southeast, where Helene dumped an amount of rain seen once every thousand years. Given the lack of progress on climate change, I’m gonna to take the under on that one.
Delaware’s Public Integrity Commission proved itself incapable of doing its job, declining to investigate why the public wasn’t told about embezzlement in the state’s unemployment insurance fund.

Just in Columbia Man Indicted for Allegedly Diverting $2.7 Million from Delaware Child Support Services
