The Green - February 21, 2020

Listen to this edition of The Green or individual segments below:

Just about a month ago, Gov. John Carney delivered his State of the State address and unveiled his budget plan for Fiscal Year 2021.

They helped define the governor’s priorities for the coming year.

This week, Gov. Carney visited the Delaware Public Media studios to talk a bit more in-depth about some of those priorities and other issues.

We plan to bring you that conversation in two parts over the next two weeks.  Part 1 has a singular focus: education– specifically funding for schools in the First State.

Late last year, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review lower court decisions striking down Delaware’s judicial balance requirement.

Now we have a date for oral arguments - March 25th

In the run up to those arguments next month, a number of people and groups have filed amicus briefs and they all back the state’s argument the lower court decisions should be reversed. 

Widener University Delaware Law School constitutional law professor Alan Garfield rejoins us with to discuss these briefs and the potential impact they could have.
