It’s time to rip the masks off politicians like state Sen. Ernie Lopez who profess in public to hold positions they believe are popular with constituents, and then, behind closed doors, vote the other way. Lopez, along with every other Republican senator in the General Assembly, voted last month against a resolution to declare gun violence a public health crisis. This is the same Lopez who not so long ago appeared at an anti-gun rally in Rehoboth and left his constituents with the impression that he supported their call for a ban on assault weapons. Then he voted against such a ban. He did the same thing with equal pay legislation.

Other suggestions include moving forward with a partnership with M&T Bank to allow in-season metered public parking in its lot at the corner of West Third Street and Market Street, improving existing free parking lots on Schley Avenue and at Otis Smith Park, and clearly marking parking spaces on streets near the Lewes Historical Society.

Lawmakers on Thursday voted on two Democratic resolutions which essentially serve as a formal statement without any legal or material consequence to congratulate the state s former U.S. senator and his running mate on achieving the highest office in the country.
