And I admit, I hadn't thought about how he likely benefited from sale of his old Justison Street location. I think he's also got at least one other questionable deal that a real newspaper would investigate. Remember when he bought radio station WAMS and somehow flipped it to DELDOT, which would use it as their public information/emergency radio outlet? I always wondered about that one... ‘No Name for Privacy’: Yeah, I usually include Delmarva Joe in my list of the Permanent Government usual suspects.

I know he did own property on the riverfront but I think Barclays was built on the site. The 'story' of him bringing his printing business (very profitable on election years, I'm sure) to Wilmington's King Street is not w/o question. I forget the deal the Frawley/Freels gave him on that. The next thing I know he has relocated to the riverfront well before there was any ec. dev. action. I'm certain Barclays was steered in his direction and that he made a nice piece of change on the deal. You have failed to include Joe DP&L Farley in the list of cronies.
