Counties
Readin’, Ritin’, and Running Amok
Newsflash: a Sussex County elected official doesn’t like to follow the rules and takes matters into their own hands. No, I’m not talking about Wyatt Earp Sheriff Jeff Christopher, I’m referring to Cape Henlopen School Board member Sandi Minard, (pictured 5th from the top).
Minard is a teabagger. She won her seat in [...]

Taking the Law into One’s Own Hands
Seems that some of the folks who work for the sheriff’s department down here in Sussex can’t get it through their thick heads that they are not law enforcement officers.
I’ve received numerous reports of an incident that occurred last Friday near Lincoln. A sheriff’s deputy, in uniform and driving a sheriff’s vehicle, decided that [...]
County Tries to Sell State White Elephant
Rockwood. Yet another tony estate, built in the mid-1800’s, championed by those people more concerned about family crests than family stability, purchased by New Castle County with lotsa bucks from the state, turned into a ‘mansion and a park’ during the go-go Gordon and Freebury years, and now, and now…the County can’t afford the upkeep and wants to pawn it off on the state.

We Don’t Need No Stinking Ethics Commission!
NCCo County Executive Paul Clark wants us to believe that cutting back on the County’s Ethics Commission budget is somehow good fiscal responsibility. When in fact — and certainly given his own “ethics” history — it is utterly irresponsible to cut back the ability of this Commission to watch over the doings and interactions of individuals in County government.
