Biden targeted visitors jams won’t be skipped
I’m a Northern New Castle County resident who joyfully appears to be ahead to our beloved Joe Biden getting around the reins in Washington.
Nevertheless, my pleasure is not just for the exact same reason as that of most Delawareans. I am irritated at getting caught in highway blocks, happening each and every other day or so, since Biden’s 20-moreover vehicle entourage has to vacation non-halt at 50 mph to get him to downtown or the riverfront for his speaking engagements, and of course the return vacation back home. Just about every single other day one can see two or a few Condition Law enforcement motor vehicles just “hanging out” at every and each just one of the intersections together Barley Mill Highway, Kennett Pike, Powder Mill Street, SR 141, Harmony Pike, etcetera. waiting around for the word to halt traffic for the speeding “train” of law enforcement, politicians, workers and press personnel.
I have seen the parade fly by intersections with sirens screeching at what appears to be unsafe speeds, and your newspaper has claimed at the very least 5 targeted visitors incidents have transpired. The squander of taxpayer cash to guidance the law enforcement presence is a further load.
Mr. President-elect, we wish you well in D.C. Godspeed, but properly!

Wilmington 311 process raises concerns
In August, the Metropolis of Wilmington disclosed they made a new grievance technique whereby city people can report code violations/problems by both phoning 311 or reporting it on the net at www.wilmingtonde.gov/311.
I have made use of the on-line feature numerous occasions. Each individual time I do, I acquire a complaint range. In checking the standing of the issues on the internet a few of months later on, I see that most of the complaints are labeled as “Fixed.” However, the difficulties continue to exist.
Emailing the metropolis finance fepartment on numerous instances, regarding why most of these problems are labeled “solved” when they clearly are not resolved, has been fruitless. I get the feeling this new process is a sham to metropolis people.
