General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 30, 2011
The picture emerging from Dover is that of a dispirited Senate Democratic Caucus and the State Senate as a whole. The ongoing DeLuca saga and the DeLuca/Peterson imbroglio is wearing on the body’s members.

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., March 24, 2011
Two major developments highlight this week’s action in Dover. On Tuesday, the civil unions bill was introduced, and has a very good chance for passage–if it gets out of committee in the Senate. I think it will. And, as UI posted this morning, the governor, legislative leaders, and representatives for state employees have tentatively approved […]

The big news: $155 million. That’s right, DEFAC (Delaware Economic & Financial Advisory Council), the group that officially sets the estimated revenues for the state, came out and identified an additional $155 million in state revenue, about 50% in the current fiscal year, and 50% for the upcoming fiscal year.

The return of the Solomonic solons to Dover apparently took Legislative Council by surprise. Either that, or there were some new, very exciting, solitaire games uploaded to their computers. The supposed information and research arm of the General Assembly provides this detailed snapshot of what went on yesterday. That’s right, in legislative time, according to […]

On Jack Markell
A number of Delaware’s bloggers were invited to a Governor’s Roundtable with Governor Markell this morning at his offices in Wilmington, so that the Governor can respond to recent progressive criticism and address his budget priorities. It was a very interesting discussion.
Time for Pat Robertson to Hang it Up
I know that Pat Robertson hates the gays. He’s been on us for decades, blaming us for earthquakes, hurricanes, forest fires, and 9/11. Personally, me thinks he dost protest too much (you know what they say about closet cases – the ones who yell the loudest about the gays are the ones with the most […]
