General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, April 14, 2022
Here’s yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Both HB’s 371 and 372 were released from House committees, meaning marijuana legalization is not dead yet. I was pleased and somewhat surprised that HS1/HB293 was released, but now I know why: The bill doesn’t do what I thought it did. The General Assembly would indeed to continue to exempt […]

The Rebecca Walker Story
It’s dawned on me that we’ve added quite a few new viewers in the past few years. Readers who are not familiar with some of the corruption that has been part of the Delaware Way forever. As you can see from this story from WDEL, (or more accurately from Randall Chase of the Associated Press, […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 13, 2022
Uneventful day yesterday. Stephanie Bolden was back, but the Ft. DuPont Cash Cow bill wasn’t run. There’s always Thursday. Only real item of note was that HB 259 (Lambert) was tabled in the Senate. Likely either a technical glitch or a request for more information. Everything else passed on both agendas with no controversy. Take […]

Anyone who thinks that the Ft. DuPont Cash Cow Bill is dead just because it wasn’t worked on Thursday, guess again. Word on the street is that Our PAL Val was perhaps only a vote short. Her equally corrupt legislative colleague Stephanie Bolden was not present (BTW, Bolden’s term is starting to look like Hazel […]

Delaware Political Weekly: April 1-7, 2022
1. This Is Not An Endorsement. However–I came across the name of a D candidate who had just filed for the 14th Senate District seat currently held by the retiring Sen. Bruce Ennis. Based on the candidate’s background, I asked my wife about this candidate w/o mentioning his name. You see, my wife’s a pharmacist, […]

I know that, by now, you must be sick of reading my screeds about the blatantly corrupt Ft. DuPont project. A corrupt project whose fate will likely be sealed forever with the passage of HB 355 (Longhurst), which, among other things, gets rid of direct resident representation on the Board, and hands the corporation two […]

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, April 6, 2022
I doubted that anybody would vote against the Ft. DuPont/Delaware City ‘Charter Change’ in the House. I was correct. Perhaps this is the time to call out ‘Mimi’ Minor-Brown. Representative, the official reorganization of the Delaware Democratic committees should be completed by May. At that point, you, not Valerie Longhurst, will represent the residents of […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 5, 2022
Hoo-boy, we’ve got some real interesting bills to talk about right off the bat. Take, for example, HB 372 (Osienski). The bill ‘regulates and taxes marijuana in the same manner as alcohol’. I honestly haven’t had time to look at the differences between this bill and the failed bill, but they’re similar. It’s still a […]
