Delaware Political Weekly: Jan. 1-7, 2016

Hey, it's an ELECTION YEAR! Try to contain your enthusiasm. At least we've got some new news to share. But first, let's see where we stand regarding already-filed candidates. Karen Hartley-Nagle Primaries Chris Bullock for NCC President. While Bullock hasn't filed, we know he's running. How do we know? Because we (or, to be accurate, I) have received content-free e-mails from Bullock in his capacity as NCC Prez throughout 2015. Touchy-feely crap. I think his campaign is paying for them, but I'm not sure.  Perennial candidate Hartley-Nagle could pose a challenge, especially if she is part of an unofficial anti-Gordon ticket.

How The GA Passed Energy Efficiency w/o Passing HB 179

This is awesome, just the kind of stuff I love. You will no doubt recall, through the writings of Cassandra and others, that Delaware utilities currently cannot offer their customers consumer conservation programs that would save the consumer money and reduce energy usage. You also know that a bill designed to permit utilities to offer these programs was buried in the Senate Energy Committee, where it had languished for over a year under the watchful eye of SEU founder and Senator Harris McDowell. Which brings us to last night, and, for that matter, this morning. At 3:21:05 am, to be  precise. No, Sen. McDowell did not relent, nor did he release HB 179 from committee. So, how did this get done?
