UPDATED: Carney Gives Finger to LGBT Community

Update: John Carney belatedly signed on to the letter. Seriously, what's wrong with this guy? Rhetorical question. He's a Republican. Anyway, from the attached article:
Forty-eight senators and 148 representatives have signed a letter calling on Obama to sign an executive order providing workplace protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
When Obama campaigned for president, he said he'd support such an order. He has not. So, 196 D legislators signed a letter to Obama (R's were invited, none signed) calling on him to enforce this through Executive Order since the R's are delaying consideration of a legislative remedy in Congress. Even Carper and Coons.

Rep. Daryll Scott has designated his preferred successor. He's Sean Lynn, a Dover City Councilman.    Looks like he'd be a worthy successor to Scott, and the district is solidly blue. Of course, we don't know if there will be any primary challengers, and we never know how someone will ultimately perform once in office. I, for one, can only hope that Rep. Scott is not done with public service. He's among the best progressives in the Delaware General Assembly.
