Each of the last several years, Republican legislators in the House have held the Bond Bill, a key job-creating bill that funds hundreds of infrastructure projects across the state, and the Grant-in-Aid bill, which funds hundreds of non-profits and local policy and fire companies, hostage to get politically unfavorable bills passed.

Last year, the two bills of interest were to allow corporations to vote in local elections and a bill aimed at rolling back key environmental programs and preventing future protections against air pollution in Delaware from being approved. Both of these bills were shut down in committee meetings but were brought back from the bin by Republican legislators threatening not to vote on critical bills for the state.

Send a letter to Senate leadership and let them know that we will not accept the rollback environmental protections as a way to appease bad faith deals on the last day of session.
