1. Don’t Sleep On RD 9. I haven’t focused on this NCC district that is all south of the canal. But the Working Families Party’s endorsement of Terrell Williams has opened my eyes. Why, you ask, should the result this year be any different than it was in 2022, when Rethug Kevin Hensley won by […]

The Big Story: Hospital Lobbyists Likely To Swarm Leg Hall Today. There’s only one bill of note on either Agenda today.

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 24, 2024
Looks like a ‘just the facts, ma’am’ edition today. Largely b/c there are a lot of facts to plow through. Don’t worry, we’ll insert some levity/snark into the proceedings. Here is yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Some good bills were passed. SB 237 (Hansen) passed. Five Senate Rethugs voted no. Which is what happens when you […]

Or is the Delaware Way just too dominant to ensure that the public’s right to know is less important than burying […]

The Big Story: State Rep. Sophie Phillips is my new legislative hero. In her first term, she’s already demonstrated her willingness to take on challenging, but essential, battles. She has empathy and humanity, and she puts in the work. If she remains in politics, she could well become a true difference-maker. Not gonna be easy, […]

OK, I lied. And/or was misinformed. Turns out that House committees don’t have to consider bills within 12 legislative days of being assigned to committee. I don’t know whether this is a change in House rules or whether it has ever been thus. Allow me to quote from the House rules (HR 5): (b) All […]
