Governor Criticized for Actions Involving State Revenue Forecasting Group

By  DE  House - Republican Caucus

In an era when disagreements involving elected officials often quickly spiral into political tribalism, it's rare to find a situation in which people across the political spectrum share a common perspective. Yet that is exactly what has happened in reaction to Gov. Matt Meyer’s recent removal of a top official from a committee whose work impacts every Delawarean. Gov. Meyer recently removed Mike Houghton from the Delaware Economic and Financial Advisory Council (DEFAC). While many state residents may never have heard of the group, its work is key to determining how much the state spends each year.

Court Sides with State, Allowing it to Override County Land Use Decision Impacting Wind Farm

By DE  House - Republican Caucus

The Delaware Court of Chancery has ruled in favor of the State of Delaware, allowing it to overturn a Sussex County Council decision on a project critical to a planned offshore wind farm. In December 2024, Sussex County Council voted 4-1 to deny a conditional use permit for an electrical substation proposed by Renewable Redevelopment, LLC on land zoned for Heavy Industrial use next to the Indian River Power Plant. The substation would connect power generated by offshore wind turbines to the regional electric grid.
