So, I keep asking, why must the final night of the General Assembly, run into the following morning? Is it because there just isn’t enough time to gather all the data, in order to put together the budget? Or is it because it’s just the way it’s always been done? Maybe a little of both.
Habits are hard to break, but not impossible. So, let us address the amount of time needed to gather data, and to put together a budget.
There is no way to know how long exactly it takes to do this, so maybe it should be the first and only thing our Legislators do, until it is finished, and then they can turn their attention to other things they want to address. Like, oh, I don’t know, like these. And yes these are but a few of this type of resolutions, but imagine the time saved, if instead of this so-called legislation, our elected officials spent all their time working on the things which actually benefit the citizens of Delaware, rather than this feel good waste of time.

What is “Purple Day?”
These people are pathetic.
If we’re going to be honest, they need to pass a resolution naming the “state dog” a Pit Bull Terrier, and they can combine it with “manufactured housing day”.
The GA needs a spam filter.
It’s neither. It’s so legislators can scramble bills last minute so residents don’t have an opportunity to address them. I don’t doubt that this is part of the reason Delaware ranks a Grade F (48th) in legislative accountability by The Center for Public Integrity.
Purple day, go Ravens
