General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, April 15, 2026
A pretty pro-forma session yesterday. I listened to the Senate Corrections Committee hearing on the Plummer Center and the residents and programs that have now been transferred to a facility in Smyrna. The main takeaway? The Plummer Center ain’t coming back, at least not in its previous capacity. Here is an article about the hearing. Here is […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 14, 2026
Well, they’re not exactly back with a bang. The most interesting item on today’s docket, at least to me, is a hearing conducted by the Senate Corrections Committee to address the closing of the Plummer Center in Wilmington (started at 10). I know, it’s already taking place as I write this. I’ll report on it […]

1. Goodbye, Chris Beardsley. Hello, Chris Beardsley? Something tells me that, even as kind-of-a-joke, Beardsley will not have the staying power of other Delaware oddball politicos. While (I don’t think) that he’s officially dropped out of the primary against Coons, he has already filed a committee for a Democratic Primary in (wait for it) State […]
Nicole Poore. Val Longhurst. Krista Griffith?
Sure looks that way. We know how both Nicole ‘No Longer’ Poore and Our PAL Val parlayed elective office into jobs for which they were singularly unqualified, and how they made sure that their new employers were generously funded out of the bowels of Leg Hall. Without passing judgment on her qualifications, it sure looks […]
How Nicole ‘No Longer’ Poore Became Poor No Longer
I’ve been writing about the blatant conflicts-of-interest of Nicole Poore and ‘Our PAL’ Val Longhurst for, like, forever. Here, for example (2017). And here. And here. And here. And here. And here (2018). There has been next-to-no coverage of the exploits of these two ethically-bankrupt public officials. Or, there had been little coverage until it turned […]

1. Leader Of Flock To Be Sacrificial Lamb To Sarah McBride. A Black preacher named Earl Cooper. You just know what the first thing out of his mouth was: “Our children are our greatest treasure, and if we don’t protect them, we fail the very future of Delaware! Let me be clear: boys should not […]

1. Check Out This Prospective D Candidate In RD 23! This is the Newark-area district currently represented by Mara Gorman, who is running for SD 8, where President Pro-Tem Dave Sokola is retiring. Another D has filed a committee for this race, and I’m very intrigued. His name is David Redlawsk. He is the Chair Of the […]

A productive day in Dover, but with work on the bill I was most interested in left undone. The bill? This one. The bill ‘prohibits the State, a unit of local government, or any agency, officer, employee, or agent thereof, from doing the following with respect to a detention facility owned, managed, or operated by […]

A strong House Agenda highlights today’s session. Meaning, we’ll start with the Senate Agenda. Only one bill of note, and it’s likely non-controversial. SB 247 (Mantzavinos) ‘clarifies that counties and municipalities can deposit their revenues in any depository bank or credit union. The State of Delaware already can choose where it deposits its money, and […]
