“We are kings of our bikes. So, we are again really lucky to live in Rehoboth, when we park a car, we have to get back into the car. We can hop on our bikes and our ritual is that we are always biking from our home to L(ewe)s. We do a little bit of walking around, a little bit of margarita, a little bit of good food – there’s amazing food then bike right back. So the ritual, on our bikes, every chance we can, any place we can go, and eliminate the cars.”–Dan Cruce.
Yeah, I know that I skipped last week. If you’d like your subscription $$’s back, please send me some subscription $$’s first, and I’ll ‘consider’ returning it to you. Just be advised that I will use the Krista Griffith version of ‘consider’. As in, and I quote:
“There was an attempt by State Rep. Frank Burns (D-Newark) to change the effective date to the day the new changes were signed into law as to not effect any ongoing books and records request, but that amendment ultimately failed.
During debate on the House Floor, Rep. Burns noted the amendment was largely drafted out of concern for the ongoing books and records requests made by Meta — the parent company of Facebook and Instagram — shareholders, as reported by CNBC, and worried that those probes could be hindered.
“I am aware of two actions against Meta where books and records discoveries were going on, and they can continue, but what they were looking into can now never be brought to bear under the SB 21 rules,” Rep Burns said during debate.
The bill’s sponsor, State Rep. Griffith (D-Fairfax) explained the date of Feb. 17 was “very carefully considered” and did not support the amendment along with the majority of her colleagues.
But I (only slightly) digress.
1. John Atkins in a three-way? No, I’m not referencing the aftermath of one of the ‘lingerie’ parties that John attended. You people disgust me. There is now a third announced R candidate for the 41st RD seat being vacated by Rich Collins. One Jacki Slonin of Dagsboro. She describes herself as an ‘Essential Services Solutions Expert and business owner’, said business being JS Strategies. She’s also a huge ‘parental rights’ activist. Hey, it’s the 41st. The best you can hope for is a candidate who doesn’t come from a family where cousins marry.
2. Stephanie Bolden Isn’t Retiring. She’s filed for the ballot. Lest you’ve forgotten who she is, this clip should remind you.
3. Campaign Finance Reports Start To Trickle In. The reporting deadline isn’t until January 20. So, what we have so far are those reports where either no money was spent and/or inactive committees. I checked so that you don’t have to. One of Greg Lavelle’s committees spent his remaining balance–on behalf of Brent Burdge and Bryan Shupe. Although–he transferred the remaining funds, some $5100, to his other PAC, the FirstStateFirst PAC. We’re not done with him yet.
4. Curtis Linton On Ballot For NCC District 4. Apparently with the imprimatur of James Maravelias. The Wilmington area district seat is currently held by Penrose Hollins, who has announced his retirement.
That’s all I’ve got. What’d I miss, and whaddayathink?
