Trump had better hope that none of the parents of the soldiers killed in Afghanistan speak out publicly. Trump’s […]

Productive Day In Dover. Granted, all things are relative. But the General Assembly got most of the minimum that needed to be done out of the way on Thursday. Both the Bond Bill and Grant-In-Aid Bill unanimously passed the Senate, and will fly right through the House. Sen. Poore and Rep. Longhurst can therefore rest […]
