Tom Neuberger Running For AG

Delaware Political Weekly: Oct. 27-Nov. 2, 2017
1. The Emergence Of Tizzy Lockman. Her candidacy for the 3rd Senatorial Seat currently held by Bob Marshall has become a rallying cry for grassroots activists. Notable not only for the candidate herself, but for the framework created by Network Delaware to facilitate her candidacy. Along with Rachel Blumenfeld and Laura Sturgeon, there are some […]
Opponents Play Rope-A-Dope On Marijuana Legalization
Cutting red tape for business only extends to providing get-out-of-jail-free cards to serial polluters, not to assisting proponents of creating a new revenue source. Gee, who didn’t see this coming? From the linked News-Journal story: “We’re pleased more time will be allotted,” said Cathy Rossi, vice president of public and government affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “The […]

Delaware Facilitates Money Laundering To Balance Its Budget
First, go read the News Journal article on how Paul Manafort used Delaware’s LLC and corporate law to launder tens of millions of dollars from the Ukraine. Yep, we balance our budget by enabling criminal behavior and, more specifically, the evasion of criminal behavior. In this case, at least nine Delaware LLC’s formed for the […]
RIP: Roger A. Martin
Noted author/historian and perhaps less-noted State Senator Roger A. Martin passed away last Thursday. He has been hailed as an historian who traced the history of Delaware through the succession of its governors. As a State Senator, Roger struck me as a man out of time. It was as if he viewed the Senate through […]
Network Delaware Flexes Its Political Muscles In SD3
Elizabeth ‘Tizzy’ Lockman. Remember the name. She is running for Bob Marshall’s seat in SD 3. She is the first candidate to emerge from Network Delaware’s grassroots efforts. She is a candidate who does not appear to be someone who was obsessed with being involved in politics, in stark contrast to Jordan Hines, who has […]
Delaware Political Weekly: October 20-26, 2017
1. Rachel Blumenfeld To Challenge Deborah Hudson in RD 12. She’s a great candidate. An English Special Education Teacher in Delaware’s public schools.

Open Thread For October 25, 2017
Taxpayer-Funded Police Slush Fund Under Investigation. Talk about a bare-bones story. Maybe it’s all that Randall Chase could glean from the cops. Which would be par for the course. Guess who they’ve got investigating it? A former state cop. This entire story highlights the cozy relationship the police have with government. And your money. Senate […]
BREAKING: Arizona Senator Jeff Flake Announces He Will Not Seek Reelection, Torches Trump
Alby broke the story as follows: BREAKING: Jeff Flake apparently taken up Jason’s offer, announcing Tuesday he will not seek re-election.

Open Thread For October 24, 2017
Delaware City Man Charged With Hate Crime. Good news? The (alleged) hater of Muslims had to surrender his guns. Bad news? He’s been released on bail. The Corporate Enabling Of Bill O’Reilly…And Other Serial Sexual Predators. I don’t give a bleep what company it is–if they create an atmosphere that promotes sexual misconduct, they need […]
