DE: Republicans Look to trim State Work Force
Last Updated on Wednesday, 29 September 2010 12:40 Written by rslcpol Friday, 11 June 2010 01:31
From DelawareOnline.com:
Republicans at both ends of Legislative Hall are taking aim at the state payroll, looking to downsize state government and save taxpayers money.
Whether those plans come to fruition in the Democrat-dominated General Assembly remains to be seen.
Sen. Colin Bonini, R-Dover South, on Thursday tried to use a parliamentary maneuver to introduce and act on a bill to provide a retirement incentive of two additional years of service to employees who retire on Oct. 31 — and he was shut down on a party-line vote.

DE: AG Biden Returns Home and says he’s feeling great
Last Updated on Wednesday, 29 September 2010 01:07 Written by rslcpol Wednesday, 19 May 2010 01:08
From DelawareOnline:
Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden walked out of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia on Tuesday, a week after he was taken there following a mild stroke.
Accompanied by his 4-year-old son, Hunter, and his father-in-law, Ron Berger, Biden got into a sport utility vehicle, pausing to flash a smile.
Biden spokesman Jason Miller later issued a statement saying his boss was resting at home with family. There was no mention of when Biden would return to the Attorney General’s Office, where he is up for re-election in November. So far, he is unopposed.
“I feel wonderful knowing Beau is home, healthy and back 100 percent,” his father, Vice President Joe Biden, said. The vice president said he spoke with his son Tuesday. “I wasn’t surprised at all that he was already up and about — but I hope he listens to the doc and rests a bit before heading back to work.”

DE: GOP Begins to Assemble their Lineup
Last Updated on Wednesday, 29 September 2010 01:12 Written by rslcpol Friday, 14 May 2010 12:29
From DelawareOnline:
It’s race weekend in Delaware, with about 100,000 NASCAR fans converging on Dover to watch fast cars on the Monster Mile.
A bit farther south, in races with decidedly less velocity, hundreds of Republicans will meet in Rehoboth Beach for the GOP’s annual convention, which begins tonight and continues Saturday at the Rehoboth Convention Center.
Only a couple of races will be contested in Rehoboth — mainly the one for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democratic Vice President Joe Biden for 36 years, and the one for the U.S. House of Representatives seat held by Republican Mike Castle since 1993.
The other statewide seats have only one GOP contender — Tom Wagner for auditor, Colin Bonini for treasurer — or none at all, as in the race for attorney general, where no one yet has offered to run against the Democratic incumbent — Biden’s son, Beau.

DE: GOP Pushes States’ Rights Challenge to Health Care Bill
Last Updated on Wednesday, 29 September 2010 02:03 Written by rslcpol Wednesday, 31 March 2010 02:00
From DelawareOnline:
Republican-sponsored House Bill 353, which has no Democrats as sponsors, would specify that Delawareans are free to choose — or decline to choose — all health care services without penalty.
It declares that only the state has the legal authority to regulate private health-care insurance and services within its borders, and it directs the attorney general to defend the state against challenges to it.
Rep. Deborah Hudson, R-Fairthorne and a sponsor of the bill, said it “preserves Delawareans’ freedom of choice in matters of health care” and defends Delaware’s right to govern its own citizens.
“I just want to be able to have states’ rights,” Hudson said in introducing the bill.
Rep. Ruth Briggs King, R-Georgetown and a co-sponsor of the bill, said the legislation is a defense against the intrusion of the federal government into the authority of state government.
