New Castle County Government: A Police Family Business
This is a creation from the people at NCCo. Politics on Twitter. This chart is brilliant.
Whomever is responsible for that Twitter feed has also created some other clever graphics:

What's up with 200 Airport Rd? Tom Gordon raised $3,600 from entities who share this tiny office address. #netde pic.twitter.com/76jcbZshNe

Holy shit. Anybody add up all those salaries?
This is just brilliant. Kudos to the creator of these, seriously.
This is David Grimaldi. The Twitter account used to be Gordon’s if you use backtweets.com.
It is funny, but consider the source. At least it will be amusing watching them say, “no, you are a criminal,” back and forth. Hopefully they implicate each other in the process.
Salary total for 9 positions: $899,000. I think I got them all.
Curious about what the proposals are for the “use of available cash balances”.
Between the police-state state of this government, and the nepotism, this is a bleeping disgrace.
One of the things that really needs to get done is to get electeds and appointeds out of the pension system. Get rid of the biggest incentive for all of these ex-cops to be in government.
The $150k CHIEF OF F@CKING STAFF has no education? What a joke. I guess being related to Sherry Freebery has some perks. It looks like they’re all somehow connected to her.
the degree optional executive team haha. Only in NCC
Fusco property management companies run out of 200 Airport Rd. Good thing there are limits on how much one person can give, eh?
Seriously, now. Without the old cronies, who would work for him?
My question is: These ‘positions’ in many cases appear to be there ONLY to give his cronies a job with ridiculous salaries. How many are really necessary to ‘run’ the County?
This IS a family business, and we’re paying for it. I, for one, am tired of paying taxes that serve only Gordon’s friends and his/their relatives. Can we make that portion of our tax bills optional?
The General Assembly should eliminate the County Executive Office and create a County Manager position that is hired by council on a limited contract. This way every decision made has to be agreed upon by a majority of council, not just one guy with access to the bank accounts and no transparency.
We need a 1/5 of the nitpicking and outrage over recent school referendums applied to these guys.
@aaanonymous it gets worse. Fusco is a New Castle County vendor. It looks like the county leases space from him (no idea why). Perhaps his lease was coming due soon? Total corruption
