Thanks but , the Delaware way rules again! Hopefully the state legislators will take action to address this. However, Markell owns the majority of state legislators D’s and R’s
The mailers do not contain the “magic words” (“vote for,” “elect”) that would transform them into “express advocacy,” versus (permissible) “issue advocacy?” Are our legislature & exec. branch run by kindergarteners? I don’t mean to demean five-year-olds, but the lack of sophistication in the AG’s advice about this matter is mind boggling.
CSD residents who received the fliers are sufficiently astute to surmise that “vote for” was implied, whatever specific words were employed.
How is this different from the Citizens United ruling that the activists on the Supreme Court handed down? Are those who are outraged by Voices 4 Delaware also outraged that the Koch brothers and corporate entities can pump millions of dollars into elections/campaigns at local and national levels with no holds barred? Either you want campaign reform at all levels, or you don’t. However, until Citizens United gets overturned, you can expect to see school board and local elections become increasingly more expensive.
No, does not RULE, issues an OPINION, BIG difference
Actually, it is written as ADVICE.

It’s just that your blog post title is factually incorrect, this is not a “ruling”. Just pointing that out.
It is fixed! Thanks
Thx! They can all read the document on my blog and call me a fool if they want, but on a document like this, want to be precise.
Lets see what Dover will do! But surely Markell will want to stall it so he can take advantage of this PAC. I wonder if he was a contributor?
If HB 300 is passed, when will it get signed? The first WEDNESDAY in NOVEMBER? LOL

Beau Biden supports anti-bullying programs but not for political agendas…sad…..strings attached ??
