Sonia Sloan, A Great Democrat, Has Passed Away
Any Delaware Democrat knows that putting ‘A Great Democrat’ in the title of this piece is redundant. She and husband Gil were especially close to Joe Biden. The last time I saw her, probably about two months ago, she told me that she ‘still had one campaign’ left in her. Sincerity and integrity are terms […]
BREAKING: Poppiti To Challenge Karen Hartley-Nagle For NCC Council President
Ciro Poppiti III tonight announced that he would primary the embarrassing Karen Hartley-Nagle for the D nomination for New Castle County President. He made the announcement at the NCC Democratic Executive Committee meeting. Poppiti has served as the NCC Register Of Wills since 2010. He ran for Lt. Governor in 2016, and finished 4th in […]
The Delaware Political Hot Stove: October, 2019
1. It’s Official: Hugg vs. Lawson. David Lawson has filed for reelection for the 15th SD seat. Hugg will announce in early November. The ‘old guard’ in Kent County is Hugg’s ‘braintrust’. By that, I mean Nancy Cook and her hangers-on. (BTW, I heard a rumor about Nancy Cook that I pray is not true. […]
The Delaware Political Hot Stove: Sept., 2019
There’s a subscribers’ only News-Journal article up today and, while it mostly recounts what we already knew, they broke some news. News that I had not printed b/c I was told off-the-record. But it could be a pretty big deal for the composition of the Delaware State Senate. We’ll start with that: 1. Jaci Hugg, […]
Delaware Has a Lot to Fear From Elizabeth Warren
Maybe you saw the story about CNBC shouter Jim Cramer saying Wall Street was freaking out about the possibility of a President Elizabeth Warren, claiming he’s heard a lot of people saying “She’s got to be stopped.” According to this article previewing tonight’s debate, it’s not just Wall Street that should be worried. She’s got […]
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.
