In this last minute election fever, we’ve seen some Democrat mailers big on rhetoric and thin on information. A particular illusion being peddled is that because this year’s budget was smaller than the 2008 budget, Democrats in the State House shrank the size of state government. While we’re happy to see Democrats embracing conservative, small‐government [...]

Patti Blevins, Tony DeLuca & Senate Democrats Build “Wall of Separation”
Posted in Delaware, Delaware State Senate, Democrats, Government Waste, Sen. DeLuca on October 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The Senate Leadership has decided to build a “wall of separation” between the leadership office and the public. Construction on a new Pro-Tem Leadership office in Dover began 2 weeks ago when Legislative Hall was closed for Columbus Day. For over 40 years, the Leadership Office has opened onto the first floor hallway. Evidently, this configuration [...]
Rhode Island Reporter Takes Governor Markell To Task On Tax Hypocrisy…
Posted in Delaware, Democrats, Economy, Government Waste, Jack Markell on October 26, 2010 | 4 Comments »
When Governor Markell ran away from Velda Jones-Potter during the Democratic Treasurer Primary, he didn’t stop running until he hit Rhode Island. There, he paused long enough to turn over $500,000 of Democrat Governors Association money to the Democrat Gubernatorial candidate and hold a press conference — which is where he was called to the [...]

Objective Panelists?
Posted in Uncategorized on October 20, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I have heard most of the two O’Donnell/Coons debates. I give the panelists credit; it must be very difficult to come up with so many softball questions for Chris Coons. What is left for the next debate? In case they are stuck, here are some that the previous panelists did not get to: What is [...]
Dear Governor Minner, Please help us cut spending, today — May 9, 2007
Posted in Delaware, Democrats, Government Waste on October 18, 2010 | 8 Comments »
Former State Senator John Still reminded me of the following letter. It was sent by the Republican Minority Caucus of the State Senate on May 9, 2007. I believe that the Governor’s response was a polite “brush-off”. Of course, Lt. Governor Carney was silent. To bad the Democrats failed to respond. Their failure led to [...]
DSEA Endorsements
Posted in Delaware State House, Delaware State Senate, tagged DSEA on October 18, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Thanks to the reader who sent this in to the tip line. The marketing geniuses at DSEA apparently don’t realize that senate and house districts overlap. Or they just don’t care.
