Matt, I am passing on what the man told me. He has proven over the years to be a fiscal conservative and he has chosen to take that to the State Treasurer’s office.

And seriously Frank, whatever it is that he claims to intend to do he can do now.

Hold a Presser. He can.

Name names. He can.

It’s interesting that simple facts upset some of you folks.

Not that Matt Opaliski would ever run in a special election or anything. Bitter guy, that one is.

Matt, there is definately a cost to the move. But in the long run we may be better off. If Mr. Bonini can do what he intends to do, we could actually start to see some real change. You have to break some eggs to make an omelet.

boo hoo Mike O. cry me a river

I think the people having the right to choose who best to serve them in an election is worth a rounding error in a three billion dollar budget.

Delmarva Dealings – He’s not stepping down to run, he’s midway through a four-year term with nothing to lose. If he wins in November he’ll resign his Senate seat which will require a Special Election costing the State money. Not to worry though, Delaware doesn’t have a revenue problem …

“I’d vote for the first candidate, Democratic or Republican or whatever, who seriously proposed abolishing the treasurer’s office and folding it into the Department of Finance.”

How about instead let’s just go ahead and abolish the DoF and send Secretary Tommy CrOOKed home without a state job for once in his life.

Give Bonini the bully pulpit. You think the bond rating agencies are going to look NEGATIVELY on someone trying to cut spending? Please.

We need checks and balances on the corrupt one-party Democrat rule in Delaware. Bonini would be one, and a House majority would be the other.

Even the liberals have to pick up the paper and recognize that things keep getting worse with one-party rule.

1. Tom Wagner is an excellent Auditor.
2. Colin Bonini will be an excellent State Treasurer.

First let me thank my spell check friends. As for comment #9 from someone calling themself anon, who says, “If Bonini wants to be a watchdog, he should be primarying Wagner.” Well dear Mr. or Mrs. anon, Tom Wagner’s office of the Auditor is there to find waste and fraud after the fact. Many times years after the fact. Mr. Bonini is hoping to expose the waste as it is happening. So that the citizens can take care of business at the very next election of the wasteful officials.
The other thing is that Tom Wagner is doing a great job and will be re-elected to that office.
