AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 minutes agoElection Readiness: Delaware’s early voting starts Thursday, Oct. 22, ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms. Final tests found no hazardous materials in suspicious mail opened at the State Election Commissioner’s office; normal operations are set to resume Thursday, though federal investigators are still looking into the incident. Police Transparency: A new law taking effect Wednesday generally bars police from releasing the names or photos of adults charged with crimes unless they face felony charges and disclosure is needed for public safety. Supporters say it protects people who haven’t been convicted; critics worry about public access to arrest information. Taxes and Local Control: Sen. Kyra Hoffner backed a law allowing some school districts to raise property tax rates by up to 2% annually without a referendum if reserves fall below a threshold. The change begins in 2031 and has drawn criticism from her Republican challenger. Another Hoffner-backed housing law removes hearings for some projects that already meet zoning rules, prompting concerns about local oversight. Public Records: Delawareans are also voicing frustration with access to state data as lawmakers consider changes to the FOIA process.
