Tony DeLuca may well leave a positive legacy on the Delaware General Assembly yet.
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 30, 2011
The picture emerging from Dover is that of a dispirited Senate Democratic Caucus and the State Senate as a whole. The ongoing DeLuca saga and the DeLuca/Peterson imbroglio is wearing on the body’s members.
An Open Letter to Senators McDowell, Henry, Marshall & Bushweller
The Delaware State Senate and, in particular, the Senate Democratic Caucus must decide whether it is in the best interest of the legislative body and the citizens you represent to retain or replace Sen. Anthony J. DeLuca as President Pro-Tempore.
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Tues., March 29, 2011
Allow me to quote from Sen. George Howard Bunting in today’s News-Journal: “Tuesday’s going to be a very interesting caucus.”
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., March 24, 2011
Two major developments highlight this week’s action in Dover. On Tuesday, the civil unions bill was introduced, and has a very good chance for passage–if it gets out of committee in the Senate.

Gotta go to work early. Real early. Plus, my fantasy baseball draft’s only about a week away…gotta prep. A full two-day wrap-up and preview awaits you (and me) tomorrow.
Breaking: Civil Unions Bill Introduced With Governor’s Support

That’s right, DEFAC (Delaware Economic & Financial Advisory Council), the group that officially sets the estimated revenues for the state, came out and identified an additional $155 million in state revenue, about 50% in the current fiscal year, and 50% for the upcoming fiscal year. While this is not the […]
Time To Make The Districts-Part Trois
In which we create a new Senate district downstate. But…will the ‘new’ district be truly new? I propagandize, you decide. OK, kids, for those of you who came late to class, or just didn’t bother to show up, you will want to read these two seminal treatises on redistricting here and here. Well, perhaps not […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., March 17, 2011
The leprechauns are still at play in the General Assembly’s session reports–as apparently are the Legislative Council staff assigned to update them.
