Governor Two-Face Strikes Again
The other day Governor Two-Face signed an executive order to end racism, discrimination in state government. This is good, very good. That same day, Governor Two-Face refused to financially support early childhood education in Delaware. This is bad, Trumpian bad. The News Journal summed up Governor Two-Face’s problem succinctly, “Our schools and educational system need to improve, but we don’t want to pay for that improvement.” It’s time to lead Governor Carney, not hide.

Question of the Day
The Republican president said yesterday, “Nobody knew health care could be so complicated.” What are some other complicated things that the Republican president is encountering?
Waiting for FDR
So while Delaware waits for Governor Carney to act like a Democrat (hint, it’s not going to happen), Chief Justice Leo Strine testified yesterday asking the Bond Committee to raise the gasoline tax. As much as I would like to see the gasoline tax raised, they only way I would support it is if income taxes on the richest is raised as well. A gas tax would be a burden on the working class and poor in Delaware. If they need to pony up some more money than the folks in 19807 need to pay as well.

Question of the Day
Would Delaware be better off with Colin Bonini being governor rather than John Carney?
