‘Bulo’s 2011 Top 10 MVPs (Most Valuable to the Progressive Cause)

16 Comments
2011 was a mixed year for progressivism in Delaware. We saw tremendous strides on social issues, especially equal rights for all Delawareans. We also saw the ongoing embrace between prominent D elected officials and the Billionaires on the Hill, to the detriment of the other 99%. We saw the emergence of the 'We Are the 99%' movement via OWS which, nationally was the best thing to happen for the progressive cause since 1964. We saw ongoing corruption, inbreeding and cronyism in the Delaware General Assembly. We saw the first legitimate attempts to challenge the rot at the core of the Delaware Way.

...and for the first time, it will be simultaneously released here at DL and on the Al Mascitti Show. We're talking 10 a.m., folks, here and on WDEL-1150 AM. I'm putting my magnum opus together now, and it will be fraught with both fun and controversy. I've gotten more comfortable with my list as I've prepared it. Of course, I've changed my initial list twice now already, and I'm likely not done fiddling with it.

You may remember the undistinguished Bonini pissed (and perhaps ate) away his shot at State Treasurer and, about a month later, flipped his vote to give Tony DeLuca the number needed to hang on to his spot as President Pro-Tempore. You may also remember the undistinguished Bonini as the 'fiscal watchdog' who ripped off the state's taxpayers by not showing up for his job on the Joint Sunset Committee, yet still getting paid for it. As punishment for Bonini ripping off the taxpayers, noted 'double-dipper' Tiny Tony DeLuca, inexplicably the President Pro-Tempore of the Delaware State Senate, has given Colin Bonini a promotion. To the Capital Improvements Committee, or 'Bond Bill' Committee.

Turns out that Tiny Tony DeLuca’s personal employment records weren’t the only records being withheld by the Department of Labor. And, get this, turns out that the records being withheld, this time the “records and construction site visit logs of labor law officers to see which companies were investigated for allegations of workplace fraud and not paying the prevailing wage rates on the public works projects in 2010 and 2011″, are in the possession of one, wait for it, Tiny Tony DeLuca, head of the Office of Labor Law Enforcement.

Back in June, we discussed the actions of KWS to apply for waivers from the medical cost ratio rule for two insurance companies so that they can continue to pay commissions to brokers and sales agents. Since then, HHS has finalized its rule that requires that the costs to pay premiums or other support to brokers and sales agents be categorized as Administrative Costs and therefore included to the maximum 20% overhead allowed by the ACA. Delaware's own Insurance Commissioner voted in a recent NAICS action to vote on a resolution that recommends that Congress exempt the fees insurance agents and brokers from medical loss ratio calculations (pdf) and that HHS revive their rulemaking to exclude brokers and agents from the the administrative costs of insurance companies.
