- Environmental Protection Delaware is currently ranked number 1, in the entire nation, for the most polluted waterways. 97.5% of our rivers, streams and bays are contaminated beyond recreational use and 100% of our estuaries are polluted. This means that the fish and wildlife are living in toxic environments that will reduce their populations every day and that the fish are not suitable for human consumption.
- Quality Public Education and Youth Programs for Pre-K through 2 year college. Not using tax payer dollars for Private schools that are not required to meet any minimum standards, participate in state testing, or admit any student that they consider less than desirable. Sounds like modern day segregation to me and that is not worthy of hardworking Delawareans tax money.
- Term Limits for all Elected Officials. These Public Offices were never intended to be career postions, that is how we have come to the mess we are in today. To many good ole boy backroom deals that have been struck between special interest groups and their "friends" that they can count on at Legislative Hall. These relationships develop over time, reduce that timeframe with term limits and see what happens. Because what we have now does not work for the average Delawarean.
