When Did Delaware’s ‘Pharmacist Of The Year’ Last Fill A Prescription?
No, acting as a guest Pill Pusher at raves doesn’t count. Here’s what we know: First, she’s been State Auditor for three years now. Does/did she have a side gig? Unlikely. Here’s what you may not know: McGuiness sold her pharmacy in, wait for it, 2002. 2002. We’re talking pre-Park City. She then went into […]
Whoa. Brian Pettyjohn Isn’t Going Anywhere.
DD has the story over at Blue Delaware, and I gotta admit, I didn’t see this coming. He wanted to go somewhere (Deputy Director For Sussex County Department of Elections). Ruth Briggs King wanted him to go somewhere. But it was kiboshed by: Only the GOP members of the Board of Elections could vote on […]

General Assembly Retains Former Delaware Supreme Court Justice To Consider McGuiness Case
Yes, we were spared the Alphonse-Gaston back-and-forth that had inexplicably taken hold in Leg Hall over L’Affaire(s) McGuiness: House and Senate leadership announced jointly they’ve retained former Supreme Court Justice Randy J. Holland for guidance on the General Assembly’s powers under Article III of the Delaware Constitution. The never-before-used provision, created in 1897, permits the […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Nov. 2 To Nov. 8, 2021
I’d imagine that this feature will migrate off of Tuesdays at some point. But I put the first one up last Tuesday, and it suits my current work schedule. Besides, I’ve got stuff. 1. First Would-Be Successor To Rep. David Bentz Surfaces. And he has all the earmarks of a legitimate candidate. Martin Willis filed […]

You are […]

Judge To McGuiness: ‘State Will Not Pay For High-Priced Lawyer For You’
For the first time, Kathy McGuiness will save the taxpayers some money. Just not of her own volition: McGuiness hired Steve Wood, a former state prosecutor, who’s now a partner at McCarter & English LLP, a month before she was indicted. He petitioned the court to represent her in the case for $550 per hour […]
The FINAL House Maps Are Here!
Here they are: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1sUzubRE9FsMcORurIfVl_-3B9XqevKLN&ll=39.1487474501171%2C-75.386594&z=9 At a quick first glance, it looks like Mike Ramone has been put back into the 21st. Val Longhurst (15th RD) is still not gonna have to justify what she did to the residents of Delaware City. As a result, Melissa Minor-Brown’s district (17th) is blatantly gerrymandered b/c she’s picking up […]

They’re back in the 18th SD (Wilson) and out of Bonini’s district, meaning the 18th now runs from Sussex’s westernmost boundary out into the Delaware Bay. Hey, it’s what the residents who spoke at the hearing said they wanted. It doesn’t […]
