By State Rep. Bryan Shupe As someone who reveres history, I do not use the term “tyranny” lightly. I believe the Delaware General Assembly best serves its citizens when our structural checks and balances impose the need for legislators of both parties to have the voice of the people they represent heard. Our founders intelligently designed a system of government …
In late June, I voted against the current state operating budget. I was asked by several other members across the aisle how I could vote against so many good programs contained in the spending plan. This perspective is dangerous and needs to be avoided if we are to be good stewards of our state finances. There will always be demands …

Funding school safety when emergencies happen, as the State has done in the past, is not a strategic plan for security or improving our communities. In May I will be introducing legislation that provides all schools with funding for School Resource Officers at a 70% state, 30% local split (the average funding split for teachers across the state). These officers …
