Joseph Heller was acclaimed for his novel ‘Catch-22’, which enjoyed ca(t)che with anti-war protestors in the ’60’s. Gotta admit, started it, didn’t like it, didn’t finish it. Have no desire to give it a second chance.
Anyway, he subsequently wrote a poorly-received novel called “Something Happened”. The entire sum part and parcel of one classic review also serves as today’s Big Story:
“Nothing happened.”
Not exactly nothing, but close enough. Here is yesterday’s Session (In)Activity Report. I believe, but am not sure, that both SB 30 and HB 100 reflect the Carney Administration’s obligation to submit budget and Bond proposals to the General Assembly. An obligation, I might note, that Ruth Ann Minner declined to follow at the end of her second term. At some point, the incoming Governor will submit his own budget proposal.
I really like HB 6 (Osienski), which:
…allows the Auditor of Accounts to issue subpoenas directly, removing a requirement that the Auditor first file a praecipe with the Superior Court prothonotary. It also allows the Auditor to effect service of such a subpoena, and to apply for a court order if a recipient fails to respond to a subpoena. Failure to comply with such a court order may be punished as contempt of court.
Hopefully, this puts the University of Delaware on notice that it must change its scofflaw ways.
Neither the House nor the Senate have agendas today, nor are there any committee meetings scheduled for today.
However, and you won’t want to miss this, there will be…
…a Joint Session for the announcement of the official election results from the three counties for the offices of Governor and Lt. Governor.
Spoiler Alert (Skip this if you don’t want to know the results): Matt Meyer and Kyle Evans Gay will be announced as the winners.
See ya next week.
