John Carney, Of All People, Tells Feds To Do Something On Gun Control
Is he tone-deaf, brain-dead, or both? After not doing anything to push through the passage of strong gun control bills in Delaware, Governor(?) John Carney has joined with other governors to urge the Feds to do something, anything, to address the gun epidemic. He did this without even a hint of irony. Irony that was […]
Close a Volunteer Fire Company? It Would Never Happen in Delaware
A volunteer fire company in Haverford, Pa., has been shut down by township authorities after failing to take action against a member who tried to join the Proud Boys. According to CBS-10CBS-3, which broke the story yesterday, officials got an anonymous tip that the Bon Air Fire Company’s vice president had tried to join the […]
NCC Executive Matt Meyer Is…An Environmentalist
What a literal breath of fresh air. His op-ed in the News-Journal outlines an aggressive environmental agenda, including the following: Better water quality, prohibiting new major developments on septic systems Greater forest conservation and tree planting Improved management of community open spaces Reduced carbon emissions through energy efficiency and solar, wind and geothermal energy production on commercial […]
Yes, Yes, Yes! Chris Johnson Appointed To Wilmington City Council…
…well, not quite. Council will hold a formal vote on Thursday. But council members who interviewed three candidates have forwarded Johnson’s name to the entire council for confirmation. I can’t think of a single individual in the entire city who I would rather see on council. On issues such as economic justice, criminal justice, […]
More Environmental Racism From DNREC And, Of Course, Our Governor
Are you bleeping kidding me?: https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2019/08/20/dnrec-approves-permit-over-southbridge-neighbor-concerns/2051873001/ ‘Delaware OK’s Slag-Grinding Plant Over Neighbor Health Concerns’. John Carney and his DNREC lackeys have decided that the creation of up to 10(!) jobs is more important than the health of residents in the already environmentally-challenged community of Southbridge. According to the News-Journal article, the company will be obligated […]
Say Hello To…Cathy Cloutier’s Worst Nightmare
Her name is Kyle Evans Gay. She’s an attorney with Connolly Gallagher and lives in the same community where Cathy Cloutier, um, maintains a residence. I think she’s odds-on to win, especially in a district with current registration like this: 14,725 D; 10,526 R; and 8770 I. While I’m optimistic about her chances, I’m a […]
Wow. Signs Of Life From Sussex County D’s!
I just got this in my in-box, and I’m psyched. No, things aren’t going to turn around overnight. But the toxic nature of the Rethuglican brand nationwide means that we shouldn’t leave Sussex County to the R’s and what passes for leadership in the moribund D ranks. Read and, if you’re from Sussex, get involved: […]
BREAKING: It’s Official. Sarah McBride Running for State Senate!
Here’s the release: STEVE, I have something special to share with you – I’m running for state Senate. All my life, I’ve been an activist who has fought to make my community a better place for everyone to live. This community, this little slice of Delaware, is a special place. It’s where my brothers and I […]
BREAKING: Chief Justice Strine To Step Down
Here’s Xerxes Wilson’s story: https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2019/07/08/leo-strine-delaware-supreme-courts-chief-justice-steps-down/1672795001/ Here’s what sucks: Carney will nominate his replacement.
DL Political Hot-Stove League: The State Senate
‘Hot-stove’ not to be taken literally, of course. But there will be some significant change in the Senate, and I figured that it’s time to talk about it. So today we look at every State Senate district that will be up in 2020, and examine what could happen. Senate District 1: Incumbent Senator Harris B. […]
Legislative Leftovers: A Few Post-July 1 Crumbs
*While the first leg of a constitutional amendment permitting ‘no-excuses absentee voting’ was stalled by Rethugs in the Senate, another bill with much more potential to enable early voting passed both houses and was signed into law. HB 38 (Bentz) ‘establishes in-person early voting in Delaware beginning January 1, 2022. Registered voters will be allowed […]
Joe Biden Caused More Harm To Minorities Than Any Other D In Recent Memory
Busing was only a small part of it. Although that’s important. A lot of blacks didn’t like busing either, and a lot of whites hated it. Which can in no way forgive Biden’s defense of ‘state’s rights’ and ‘voluntary busing’. As if states that sent his segregationist friends to DC were going to do anything […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Sun., June 30, 2019
Based on what’s come before, it’s entirely fitting that this first session of the General Assembly draws to a close with the passage of two money bills with contents hidden far from the prying eyes of the public. On Thursday, the Senate passed the Bond Bill with no notice whatsoever. The bill was not made […]
