Sam Wilson and the Lesbian Bible Killers

Sam Wilson is the Vice President of the Sussex County Council and is pretty het up over the defeat of the Bible Study course at Cape Henlopen School District. Het up enough to have taken to the airwaves (not sure what program this is) to tell the radio host that he was plenty disturned over the 3-3 vote. According to him, at least one of the Cape Henlopen Board members is a *gasp* -- lesbian! And (according to Wilson) lesbians are "not strong on the bible". He seems to think that said lesbian(s) had too much influence over the vote. But thank goodness there is western Sussex to hold strong on the bible and morals, because I think that eastern Sussex doesn't have time to demand that their neighbors "Show Us Your Bibles!" -- since they are too busy tending to their own lives (and getting reservations to all of the good restaurants).

Most interesting is that Wilmington's program seems most disconnected to any effort to increase traffic safety, even though safety data is available for analysis. I'm also intrigued by the fact that Wilmington operates its camera on a revenue-sharing basis with its contractors, while DelDOT does not. Revenue-sharing with an entity that is supposed to make money obviously changes the incentives for camera placement and enforcement, and is one more deal that Wilmington was willing to cut that doesn't look like it was for the benefit of its taxpayers.

This Commission met for the first time on Tuesday -- and tell me if you can spot why I think the fix is in:
