Senate Republicans' 5-point plan for more open and accountable government:
Pass legislation under FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) to define the
General Assembly and all its standing and ad hoc committees as "public
bodies".
Change Senate Rules to do away with the power of a Senate Committee
chair to single-handedly kill legislation by preventing public debate ("desk
drawer veto").
Change Senate Rules to create a deliberative process that guarantees
legislation will get a public hearing in committee within a reasonable time
frame.
Close loopholes to avoid the potential and appearance of conflict
inherent in holding dual roles in government, including a prohibition on
paid registered lobbyists holding office on state Authorities, Boards,
Commissions and statutory Committees.

informational source, this site will offer many different views on the Senate
and the State of Delaware.
This web site will be updated periodically to help familiarize you with the
current members of the Senate Republican Caucus, their committee work,
sponsored legislation, media releases, and other items of interest.
The 8 Senate Republicans represent all 3 counties, as well as constituencies
reflecting the diversity of the people and communities of our State. Our
Caucus members bring a broad variety of backgrounds, expertise, education and
experience in the private and public sectors.
