Two pending bills to create an inspector general in the state are scheduled to be filed prior to today.
- Wow, we need this! Very little accountability in many of our state agencies. — Gene Thornton
- Let’s waste some more taxpayers’ money to create a position with a bloated salary to pretend oversight is being provided. — Clint Brothers
- Is this a position that the state needs or a created position for someone’s friend? And why haven’t we needed one before now? — Willie Preacher
- Wow! They will be really, really busy! — Jennifer Rambo

Bills on riotous activity debated by Delaware Senate committee
During a Senate Judiciary Committee session last week, a package of bills aimed at cracking down on those who participate in riotous behavior sparked debate on how the General Assembly should respond during times of civil unrest. Sen. Dave Lawson, R-Marydel, sponsored four bills stemming from the unrest that occurred in the U.S. two years ago.
- Architecture for martial law. — Pete Schonert
- Delaware doesn’t need to worry. This bill only applies to Republicans or anyone that criticizes Delaware lawmakers. — Beth Gallagher
- This needs to be watched closely, as in how they define riotous activity, or you could lose the right to even be heard in protesting. Government doesn’t have the right to take that away. If you are breaking laws while protesting, by all means, they should be arrested and prosecuted. — Jeff Grzeszczak
