DSTP’S replacement gets Senate’s OK
DOVER – If there’s one thing students, teachers and parents generally agree on, it’s this: DSTP may be the most hated acronym in the state.
And Thursday, the Senate voted 19-0 to approve the student accountability test’s replacement for students from Kindergarten to the Eighth Grade, which is scheduled to go into statewide use during the 2010-2011 school year.
Unlike the current test, which is given once a year, students will be able to take the new exam up to three times a year. That, Education Secretary Lillian Lowery said is a big advantage.

Delaware Legislators Rush Through Booze Tax, Just In Time For Summer
In our age of political vitriol and angst, there is not much that both sides can agree on, except perhaps that good laws are rarely rushed through the legislative process. Case in point is the sudden rush in the Delaware legislature to push through a huge new tax increase of as much as 136 percent on alcoholic beverages in the state. It wasn’t until the end of the day Tuesday, June 9, that Majority Leader Pete Schwartzkopf even allowed the public to see House Bill 212.
Terrified by Delaware’s looming $751 million budget deficit, state lawmakers and Gov. Jack Markell are trying to squeeze mor....

New law helps firefighters answer the call
DOVER -- It’s going to be easier for some firefighters and ambulance crews to get through traffic and to the firehouse thanks to a new law signed Thursday by Gov. Jack Markell.
Under the law, firefighters and ambulance crews, specifically designated by their departments as first responders will be able to have so-called “wig-wag” light kits installed on their cars as an aftermarket item. Previously emergency crews could have the light kits, which rapidly cycle a car’s high- and low-beam headlights, but they had to be factory-installed.
This new law will make it easier for firefighters to do ....

16 New Bills Introduced in State House
Even though the State House of Representatives is in the midst of a six-week recess while the Joint Finance Committee conducts budget hearings, legislators are still busy behind the scenes.
During today’s prefile – a device that allows legislators to introduce bills even though the House is in recess – 16 new bills made their appearance.
The term “new” may be something of a misnomer since some of the bills are the latest incarnations of measures that had been previously introduced in other General Assembly sessions, but failed to win approval.
Among the more interesting bills filed with the ....
