Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: January 27-29, 2015

Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: January 27-29, 2015

I would first like to thank the meteorologists for making this article necessary.  Was this the new ‘faith-based’ meteorology?  Rest assured I won’t be watching the insipid smile-meisters on the Weather Channel to find out what went wrong with their model.  Don’t have the time.  (Personal to Al Roker: Eat something, willya? The human shar pei look is disconcerting.)

I’m now assuming the General Assembly will meet today, so you’re gonna get the Full Monty weekly preview.  The last preview before the six-week break for meetings of the Joint Finance Committee meetings. Which reminds me, the Governor will submit his proposed budget later this week, which, of course, plays a central role in the work of the JFC.

Delaware General Assembly Post-Game Show: Week of Jan. 20-22, 2015

OK, I’ve been putting it off long enough. I suppose I should briefly discuss Governor Markell’s State of the State Address.  Markell states in the address that he is open to all sorts of proposals for bridging the infrastructure funding shortfall, but he’s not gonna lead on this, he’s gonna wait until the General Assembly comes up with something, um, concrete. He also embraced Matt Denn’s proposals for addressing crime and its causes, particularly in Wilmington. And he supported a (wait for it) fact-based task force (as opposed to other task forces). Well, a ‘commission’, not a task force. So commissions are fact-based. Task forces are not. Got it.

Alleged Plot to Kill Matt Denn Disclosed

Kittila was the lawyer for a jailed insurance executive accused of plotting to kill Denn.

We don’t report on perfunctory […]
