General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., Jan. 27, 2022
WDEL News Photo I was inspired by watching the Senate Health & Social Services Committee meeting yesterday. Several truly-good people helping a bill that will provide important help to tens of thousands of Delaware families become law. There was a synergy between the senators, the people who spoke on behalf of the bill, and the […]

This is just sad. He got away with the first one. He got caught the second time. Left a store with about $200 in groceries twice w/o paying for them. Was caught the second time. Refused to pay for the items and left. Car had his legislative tag on it: According to Newark Police, Brady […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., January 25, 2022
A nothing-burger of a day. Senate’s not even holding committee meetings. House has only a few. The good news? Two of this session’s most important bills will be considered in committee on Wednesday. Specifically, SS1/SB 1, the paid family leave bill, will be considered in the Senate Health & Social Services Committee tomorrow. 10 am. […]
BREAKING: Gerald Brady Resigns
Effective February 4. Special election to fill out the rest of his term to take place in late Feb./early March. I’m sorry, but anyone who knew Gerald knew that he was messed up. His brains were scrambled. I was his legislative assistant in 2007-2008, and it was obvious to all. I salute his military service […]
Delaware Political Weekly: January 14-20, 2022
1. Matt Meyer Raised A Shit-Ton Of Money. We’re talking ‘trying to clear the field’ money. Over $188K raised, over $418K cash on hand. Bethany Hall-Long also has a large war chest, around $159K cash on hand. Strong, but less than half of what Meyer has raised. I know that some politicians are complaining how […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, Jan. 20, 2022
The big news: Paul Baumbach’s End Of Life Options bill cleared committee. 8-7. Only D to vote no was Nnamdi Chukwuocha. Here is yesterday’s Session Activity Report. As expected, HB 280(Bentz) passed the Senate unamended and only needs the Governor’s signature to become law. The House and Senate are scheduled to each quickly run through […]
MAJOR Upgrade Coming To Delaware General Assembly!
Some items just won’t keep until the Weekly Political Update. Like THIS one: Kerri Evelyn Harris has announced her candidacy for the 32nd RD seat currently held by Andria Bennett! Bennett has said that she would not run for reelection, but she is untrustworthy. In fact, she should be leaving office now since she’s deep […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., Jan.19, 2022
Joseph Heller, author of Catch 22, labored on his following novel, called Something Happened. One critic provided a two-word review of the novel: “Nothing happened.” While that’s not quite the case with yesterday’s legislative session, it’s close enough for government work. We’ve got more activity lined up for today, hence more breathless (and some would […]
General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, January 18, 2022
But, first, a detail left over from last Thursday’s session. SB 64 (Townsend) passed the Senate. This is the bill that levies civil penalties if you don’t remove accumulated ice or snow from your car. There were two no votes, and one not voting. The three senators who did not support the bill were Gay, […]

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, January 13, 2022
First, the big news. The brand-new marijuana legalization bill has been introduced. It’s clearly an attempt to overcome the pitfalls that befell the bill last year. It doesn’t permit people to grow their own marijuana which, of course, is ridiculous. It still enables cops to pretend to smell marijuana when they’ve stopped you. The main […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wed., Jan. 12, 2022
Here is yesterday’s Session Activity Report. All of the bills we discussed yesterday were released from committee, including HB 183. The skeptic in me (about 80% of what comprises ‘me’) wonders what’s behind this bill although, on the surface, I see nothing wrong with it. Anybody with inside info? Today is solely devoted to committee […]
