Matt Meyer Calls For Primaries To Determine Successors To Sarah McBride And Kyle Evans Gay
I kinda like the idea, although the process for the special elections is pretty far along already. Here’s the press release: Governor-elect Matt Meyer Calls for Open Primaries in Upcoming Special Elections to Empower Delaware Voters and Increase Transparency Wilmington, DE – As first reported by Cris Barrish with WHYY, Governor-elect Matt Meyer is urging […]
BREAKING: Spotlight Delaware Covers House NDA Story
From Nick Stonesifer. Before I link to excerpts, I really like how Spotlight Delaware places stories in context: Why Should Delaware Care? Non-disclosure agreements, or NDAs, have often been used by powerful individuals to keep unflattering or unethical behavior under wraps. A new report from Spotlight Delaware found Democratic leadership pushed staffers to sign NDAs […]
Who Are YOUR DL MVP’s (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause) For 2024?
While everything pretty much sucked on the national scene, Delaware continued to break the mold when it comes to progressive success. Why? Well, first because progressive policies are popular and indeed benefit working families. Higher minimum wage? Paid medical and family leave? Plus so much more. So, tell us–who are your 2024 MVP’s? Tell us […]
Meet The New Gestapo, Same As The Old Gestapo
On Return Day, House members and staff wore ‘495’ stickers, celebrating the end of the short, but far-too-long, reign of Val Longhurst as Speaker. 495 days. Such humorous stickers are a staple of Return Day. Undaunted, the House Democratic Caucus elected the remnants of the Mean Girls’ Club to lead them. Further into the abyss. […]
DL Delaware Election Results Thread: Tuesday, November 5, 2024
OK, guys, this thread is for the Delaware results only. I can certainly understand that, as the national results come in and some of you perhaps indulge a bit too much (whether out of sheer joy or abject depression), you might mistakenly post national stuff here. I’ll give you a pass because I’m a generous […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2024
A federal judge delivered a blow to Delaware’s plan to expand its port along the Delaware River, ruling that the Army Corps of Engineers failed to follow proper procedures in granting permits for the project. The story appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer; the News Journal still hasn’t reported it. Why does Elon Musk want Trump […]
Our PAL Val Tries, Fails, To Designate Her Successor As Speaker From Beyond The Political Grave
We start, however, with a juicy bit of schadenfreude from primary night. Turns out Val didn’t see her defeat at the hands of Kamela Smith (!) coming. She and her political team are in her basement adding up the totals while, upstairs, a joyous victory celebration is taking place. Because the celebrants don’t see it […]
Towards A Delaware Transparency Agenda
Premature? No. It’s long past time to drive a stake through the secrecy that practitioners of the Delaware Way have used to perpetuate the casual corruption at its core. We’ll have a new governor who ran against some of the worst elements of the Delaware Way. We’ll be free of the likes of John Carney, […]
WHYY Reports On Progressive Agenda For Transparency
Matt Meyer makes clear that transparency on police actions would be part of that agenda: Democratic gubernatorial candidate Matt Meyer said he supports absolute transparency in policing and would assess if more needed to be done beyond last year’s legislation, if elected governor. “You can’t have a system where a small group of police officers […]
Song of the Day 10/9: Johnny Neel, “Talking About People”
Wilmington native Johnny Neel, who died this week at age 70, was legendary in Nashville. Best known to the broader public for his stint with the Allman Brothers Band, he made his mark in Music City as a songwriter, session musician, charismatic performer – and as the subject of countless stories of his carrying on […]
The 30-Day Reports
We’ll keep adding to this post as I get to more reports. Remember, for those candidates who did not face primaries, this is the first report they must file this year. An 8-day report is also required, as is a year-end report. Let’s see what has surfaced so far… Any doubts that Bill ‘Lumpy’ Carson […]
Was The DelDems Coordinated Campaign Merely An LBR Vanity Project?
You’ll notice the use of the past tense. Word on the street is that indeed LBR’s team was functioning as the Party’s Coordinated Campaign team and that–they all just resigned and went back exclusively to LBR’s campaign. Candidates are being informed of this as the news surfaces in DL. Our local committee had a fleeting […]
