With City Councilman Charles Potter running for Dennis P. Williams' RD 1 seat, guess who has reemerged to seek Potter's seat? I'll give you a hint. He was once suspended from practicing law in the State of Delaware for 18 months. That's right. Sam Guy. He's ba-a-a-ck. ]]> http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/02/03/delaware-2012-political-weekly-jan-28-feb-3/feed/ 77 http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/30/bulo-now-on-als-show-every-tuesday-at-10-a-m/ http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/30/bulo-now-on-als-show-every-tuesday-at-10-a-m/#comments Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:07:59 +0000 El Somnambulo http://www.delawareliberal.net/?p=57188 http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/30/bulo-now-on-als-show-every-tuesday-at-10-a-m/feed/ 1 http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/27/delaware-political-weekly-january-21-27-2012/ http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/27/delaware-political-weekly-january-21-27-2012/#comments Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:03:55 +0000 El Somnambulo http://www.delawareliberal.net/?p=57121 Dave Sokola nor Liane Sorenson are rolling in dough.

There's a bill from the Joint Sunset Committee eliminating some state agencies, boards, or committees that no longer serve a public purpose. Or perhaps never served a public purpose. Not that they're the only ones... There's more action in the House today. Should be an interesting roll call on HB 222(Jaques), which would require the Department of Labor to ‘publish the names of employers who have violated the Workplace Fraud Act, by misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor or otherwise.’ Let's see who favors screwing the little guy by claiming that an employee really isn't an 'employee'. ]]> http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/24/general-assembly-post-game-wrap-uppre-game-show-tues-jan-24-2012/feed/ 0 http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/22/rethug-party-elders-search-for-a-winning-candidate-begins-in-3-2-1/ http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/22/rethug-party-elders-search-for-a-winning-candidate-begins-in-3-2-1/#comments Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:48:06 +0000 El Somnambulo http://www.delawareliberal.net/?p=56953 http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/22/rethug-party-elders-search-for-a-winning-candidate-begins-in-3-2-1/feed/ 3 http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/20/delaware-2012-political-weekly-jan-14-20/ http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/20/delaware-2012-political-weekly-jan-14-20/#comments Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:09:36 +0000 El Somnambulo http://www.delawareliberal.net/?p=56860 Bill Montgomery and Scott Spencer support the $1 mill guarantee. Dennis Williams, Bob Marshall and Rev. Derrick Johnson say they oppose it. Kevin Kelley is still reviewing it. Anyway, that's not the reason I included this in my wrapup. After reading the Esteban Parra story, I was struck that there was more civility and substance in this discussion than in the entirety of the Kareening Klown Kar that is the Rethuglican presidential nominating process.

This, of course, is just one way that the 1% take advantage of the 99%. For example, did you know that Linda & Vince McMahon's WWE classifies its wrestlers/performers as independent contractors? Of course, they all have contracts, and the McMahons will take anyone to court for striving to be 'independent'. Obligatory rasslin' reference, sorry. Now, that's what I call a committee meeting. ]]> http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/18/general-assembly-post-game-wrap-uppre-game-show-weds-jan-18-2012/feed/ 1 http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/17/general-assembly-post-game-wrap-uppre-game-show-tues-jan-17-2012/ http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/17/general-assembly-post-game-wrap-uppre-game-show-tues-jan-17-2012/#comments Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:32:53 +0000 El Somnambulo http://www.delawareliberal.net/?p=56722 http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/17/general-assembly-post-game-wrap-uppre-game-show-tues-jan-17-2012/feed/ 2 http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/13/delaware-2012-politics-weekly-jan-6-13/ http://www.delawareliberal.net/2012/01/13/delaware-2012-politics-weekly-jan-6-13/#comments Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:34:52 +0000 El Somnambulo http://www.delawareliberal.net/?p=56382 Chad Livengood's Sunday News-Journal piece pieces it together.
