GET A BACKBONE, ALREADY
What do you get when you give eleven state senators backbones? No one yet knows.
House Concurrent Resolution 38 would finally bring wind power to Delaware, ending the stall tactic that Senators DeLuca and McDowell imposed in December. HCR38 status--stuck in committee for two months.
House Bill 71 would empower our judges to properly sentence drug offenders, and ease our appalling prison situation. HB71--stuck in committee for two months.
Senate Bill 4 would bring real open government to Dover. HB4--stuck in committee for five months.
Senate Bill 141 makes it illegal to discriminate against people due to sexual orientation. Even with ten senators sponsoring it, SB141 has been stuck in committee for over a year.
Black holes are not only found in space-—they are alive and well in Dover.
By keeping these bills in committee, the committee members prevent their fellow senators from having a say on the issue. That is incredibly spineless.
Each bill has eight to ten senators sponsoring it. If each sponsoring senator, along with one to three additional senators, signs the petition, the bill can be brought up for a vote on the senate floor. Unfortunately, this requires eleven state senators to use their backbone at the same time--an event never witnessed in Dover.
If you feel that your senator has a backbone, ask them to petition HCR38, HB71, SB4, and SB141 onto the senate floor. Prove me wrong.
