House Republicans — joined by nearly all major business groups in Delaware, argue that the projected “shortfall” is exaggerated, the process rushed, and the risk of long-term damage to Delaware’s business climate severe. And really, who knows better how to run an economy: the people who actually build and manage successful businesses, or taxpayer-funded government bureaucrats?

The 38th District and Southern Delaware Republican Club will be collecting food and essential items to donate to several local charitable organizations in our community. As Senate Democrats continue to hold our government hostage and block the release of vital food assistance for Delaware families, we will not stand by. Shame on Senator Coons, Congresswoman Blunt Rochester, and the Sussex County Democrats who would rather defend the indefensible than serve their neighbors.
