Methinks some Koch money is finding it's way to Delaware

under the auspices of unions and the PAC "Delaware Jobs Now". What pisses me off is that these Dem state reps who have put forth this proposed bill to control the City Council and do away with our Alderman's Court in Newark don't even live in Newark (they come from New Castle, Talleyville, and Wilmington). I figure they're getting money from some place. Delaware Jobs Now is the PAC that put the Newark Mayor in office. All the other mayoral candidates had funding of 5-8K, and she gets 45K dumped in her budget, plus a ton of flyers, adverts, at the last minute.

They're also the group that buses in union people from Lancaster, PA to the Data Center (TDC) and Board of Adjustment meetings -- some not even knowing why they're there -- they just showed up because they were told to.

AND since these are Dems proposing this bill and this is the 2nd attempt to push through the The Data Center with the "way more than subordinate" power plant, I'm sure our Dem Governor is going to look the other way.

It's Extortion and a power play that would be expected of Republicans, not Democrats.
Now off to research....
