Opinion
Sometimes, it’s better to step back and look some things over before taking a big leap. That is exactly what Dover’s Legislative, Finance and Administrative Committee decided to do when it came to awarding a new ambulance service contract to Ambulnz on March 12. Members voted to table any decision on a new provider until further information is gathered. The committee will be scheduling a special meeting to revisit the issue.
As Gov. John Carney delivered the final State of the State address of his tenure March 5, calls for a permanent and immediate cease-fire in Gaza rang through the chamber of the House of Representatives. The governor was interrupted five times as he delivered the annual speech, which took place in front of all 62 members of the General Assembly, his Cabinet members and every statewide elected official.
Voters on March 9 failed to approve two referendum items requested by the Smyrna School District. The roughly $8.6 million capital item was rejected by a vote of 1,079-874. The approximately $5.5 million operating expense item was defeated by a tally of 1,129-820.
Dover High had waited five decades to experience the sheer joy of this moment. And, when it finally — incredibly, remarkably — happened, the moment was every bit as thrilling as the Senators dreamed it would be. Storming back from an 11-point deficit, No. 2 Dover somehow pulled out a memorable 56-53 victory over No. 4 Salesianum to bring home the program’s long-awaited first state title at the Carpenter Center on March 9.
