The Ferry has been outfitted with new thrusters and might be in service soon. We have heard that before. This million dollar boat just has not cut the mustard, it has been out of service more than in.
The villain was fishing line caught in the thrusters. Let’s hope they put screens on the intake side of the thrusters. There is no way to get all of the fishing line out of the Nanticoke River.

HP 55
Delaware HP Bill 55 is an attempt to replace the Electoral College with the popular vote. This bill would require that Delaware’s 3 Electoral Votes be given to the winner of the national popular vote and not the winner of state popular vote.
Our founding fathers developed the Electoral College to keep smaller states and regional voices heard, not just the large metropolitan areas. This should not a partisan issue. True the Democrats control the urban vote today, however, no one know who will control that vote 100 years from now.
Debt
The economy seems to be in slow motion. Everyone is watching Washington to see the outcome of the debt ceiling debate. This is the first time in my memory that this debate is not just a footnote on page 10 of the newspaper.
How many water tight compartments were compromised before the unsinkable Titanic was doomed. An iceberg does not have the smarts to avoid a collision. The question is do our elective officials have the smarts to avoid the racing Titanic or do we go down with the ship?

It's June
The weather is either glorious or scorching, go figure. The economy seems to be doing the same. I just wish that the government would learn Webster’s first definition of that word: economy “a thrifty use of material resources : frugality in expenditures”
