Nicole Poore Rides The Gravy Train At Public’s Expense
Been poring through the Budget and Grants-In-Aid bills. My, uh, patriotic duty. There’s a category under Grants-In-Aid entitled ‘Disabled/Health/Labor’.

Direct from the Grants-In-Aid bill: Jobs For […]

Utterly Pathetic.
Congratulations, Andria. You now have a budget w/o income tax increases, even on Delaware’s wealthiest. Please leave. Yes, the General Assembly has a budget, another smoke and mirrors kick the can down the road budget. A combination of sin tax increases and realty transfer tax increases.
