Sen. Tom Carper co-authored the bill and earlier this week toured the state highlighting what the bill could mean for Delaware, specifically infrastructure vulnerable to climate change and sea level rise.
He also stopped by our Dover studio to discuss the bill and some other topics.
New leadership took the helm at Code Purple Kent County this summer.
The organization’s founder Rebecca (Becky) Martin stepped down - and handed the reins to Ennio Emmanuel and Dr. Maribel Zaragoza, who are now serving as co-directors.
