Dear Governor Meyer and Members of the General Assembly, In 2024, New Castle County completed its first full property reassessment in over four decades, a court-ordered process meant to restore fairness and transparency to the tax system.

An Open Letter To Sarah McBride
Guest Post By Jason330: Sarah, I just finished reading your latest newsletter, and I hope you’ll take this message in the spirit of urgency and shared concern with which it’s written.

Shay Frisby. Yep, there’s […]
WTF Is Going On In RD 20?
More specifically, WTF is going on with the RD 20 Democrats? Unless I missed it, we have neither a ‘call’ to the election, nor a date for the Special Election. In fact, Rep.

No longer the longest mandated day–although it could be.
