“Delawareans expect us to pass a responsible, sustainable budget that protects taxpayer money and makes our state more competitive. This budget does exactly that. We are raising salaries for teachers, getting more resources in our highest-needs classrooms, investing in affordable housing, and continuing to save for more difficult years. I want to thank members of the General Assembly and the Joint Finance Committee – especially the committee chairs, Representative Carson and Senator Paradee – for their hard work and partnership.”
