Resources as we move toward a new cleaner energy paradigm. Lets move on to Public Safety and gun control. Have been critical of the number of permits issued by the sheriff. If your daughter is at school and there is a gunman on campus, would you rather have someone on campus with a concealed weapons permit or wait for the police to arrive . I would rather have those with gone to the training take care of it. I worry about someone having a permit pull out the gun and start shooting. The issue of Community Safety and gun violence is hotter than that. This is a problem in congress because they will not allow people to go out and collect data. Maybe it does make a safer and maybe it does not, but we ought what is the impact of laws like the assault weapons ban and the a ban on clips. We ought to be studying it. Right now, republicans in congress will not let us pass a bill to allow us to collect it and allow cdc to study the data. California stepped up to the plate. , they willegislators start doing that study. We have got some of the best doctors and scientists here locally. Lets actually do what we need to do to keep the community safe. Would we be all safer with guns . Me thousand people will be safer. About thebeen made quantity i issued. It might lead someone to conclude i just want to put a gun in someones hand. Nothing could be further from the truth. We took 400 guns out of the hands of bad guys. I screen everybody and that them as well as i can. They have to go through courses and safety much like a drivers license. From thatart continued course of good decisionmaking or conduct, then your drivers license gets revoked. I am one of the few sheriffs in the state that continue to monitor folks with good decisionmaking after they get their permit, but at the end of the day, i gave a thousand people he ability to protect themselves and their families in a can and increasingly dangerous world. I would be curious how those folks got through the. Through the cracks. A weapon that can be used for mass mass killings. This is not about second amendment. Days, weo wait five ought to do the same background checks with folks with concealed carry permits. 23 month, sometimes zero, sometimes five. I have a process where continue to monitor people afterwards. Can only make a decision based on what i have not otherwise legally prohibited, they demonstrated good decisionmaking to the extent we can investigate, if they can demonstrate personal safety. It does not mean it is carte blanche. I will be quick to revoke them. Move to the next subject. You have expressed reservations about dashcam video. You support the release of officerinvolved shootings and what do you have you done to make more transparent in this regard . We are doing testing, body cameras deployed right now. , like i toldight the governor, they need to stay out of this. Body cameras will happen as a without theution need for the legislature to intervene. The problem, it is very expensive. 7 million per year to store the video. That means less other services and fewer deputies. The other problem is the question of whether they are Public Record or not. Noise on both of sides that they want to be private as part of a criminal. Nvestigation until the question is resolved, it will be difficult for me to go to body cam. People deserve privacy rights as well. I am all in favor of body cameras tear the more information we have, the better. The men and women out there protecting the community have a difficult job and they have got to make splitsecond decisions. They can get it right 99 of the time but the 1 , we have to be transparent and we have to learn from that. That is what we do in the medical profession. Everything right 99 of the time that the one part the one mistake, you have got to be transparent and learn from it. Otherwise you would road public trust. That is what bothers me. This is really disturbing and it the circle the lack and keeping information from coming that is the wrong thing to do. Lets look at this and learn from it to prevent the next accident. A slightly different opinion. Have the additional burden of maintaining the integrity of the investigation. It is not just what our emotional sense would have us do. While it might be beneficial for the department or people clamoring for the release of a video and one case, it should not make policy. Thepolicy should be for entirety of the profession and not what feels good at the time. During thety investigative process should be maintained. Very good. Time for one more question. We will modify the time allowed for the answer so we have time for your closing statements as well. The question goes to bob. Killing one ofto sheriff joan jonesdeputies as well. Should the Death Penalty the be allowed in california or should cap appointment be left to the federal government . If i was sitting there, i would want justice here justice can be informative of the Death Penalty. The problem is the Death Penalty does not bring closure to family spirit people sit on death row for years on end. Were talking about potentially life in prison without the possibility of parole. That could bring closure much quicker. I will ask the question generally and not with the suspect of my deputy press is murder. No one is on death row by accident. They all and their way to death row. You are right that the system is broken on death row and the initiative to inform the Death Penalty is so important. It shortens the time and andires them to work reduces the cost for everybody. The Death Penalty needs to be a tool but it needs to be reformed by the initiative. Mr. Bera i agree the Death Penalty as it currently exists is broken. Part of the reason why i look at reforming the Death Penalty and i look at life in prison without the possibility of parole, i do think it will help families find closure. It will bring a resolution much quicker. Saveones i would rather it for closing arguments. Very good. It is that time in the broadcast for closing statements. By coin toss, sheriff jones, you have the opportunity to go first and you have 90 seconds. This is not a race of unknowns. In many respects, is a race among to incumbents. Four years in congress and six years as sheriff. The best predictor of future performance is past performance. I have run one of the largest Sheriffs Departments in the country. Im in charge of over 2000 men and women and a half 1 billion budget. Cutting tens of millions of dollars in wasteful spending and operating costs, i have create a the first ever Youth Services and Community Relations unit during that time and ive come up with innovative technological programs that were the first of their caught first of their kind in the nation to use my political platform to stand up for what is right and what is best for Public Safety. Evenst the governor and against the president , it was necessary. During that time, the constant has not enjoy that much success. He has not done a bill out of the committee, the first step in the legislative process. Best protector of future performance is past performance. I have a demonstrated record of success and leadership in the Sheriffs Department that i will take with me to washington.

You can vote for more of the same, and we have a really good candidate here, a good guy, or i am kindly ask you to support strong change and i kindly ask you to support me for governor. Thank you very much. Mr. Carney good evening. For a lot of us, delaware is a great place to live and work and raise our families. For too many of our neighbors, the opportunities are too few. I grew up in claymont and most of my neighbors worked in the Industrial Facility along the delaware river. Todayare so few out there. The First Priority for the next governor has to be creating jobs for working families. Talk about the strength of our state without talking about the strength of the largest city. The violence in wilmington is terrell terrorizing families and making it difficult to have a positive Business Climate downtown. Part of the solution has to be schools. We have jumped from one reform to the other for too long. The most important thing we can strategy andick a stick to it. I am running for governor because our state needs somebody with the vision and courage to lead our state. Thank you for coming tonight. We will get started with questions. , wilmington has been referred to as murder town usa since 2011, 765 people have been shot and 132 of them have died from gun violence pair what will you do as governor to reduce the number of deaths and injuries from gun violence . Whatever is necessary. If there has been a greater failure in our political , and this is not a party thing, in the violence in wilmington, i would like to know what it is. I think we need a governor and general leadership up and down this ise who will say unacceptable. If we have to combine police forces, you do it. If you have to in state police, you do it. You have to build substations in those communities, you do it. The bottom line here is, i think the first thing that has got to change this we need the courage to say that this is unacceptable. I think greater enforcement is the answer. Hatever that solution is combining police forces, bringing state police and, we need more police in those neighborhoods integrated into the community so the violence will stop. Wilmington cannot make progress until the people feel safe. Theink it is one of greatest failures of our political culture here in delaware and we need to elect a governor who will say this was not no matter what i have to do. One minute for a rebuttal. This is a big problem and it has got to be a top priority. Need a different approach for Law Enforcement and i have been in the neighborhoods and approached these kids. We need to do a better job with Law Enforcement and a different approach and more of a communitybased approach where Law Enforcement and police are working with members of the community. We have to importantly address root causes of these problems and that is academic failure early on in school. We have to make sure the kids in wilmington get a much better education than today. The problem has gone back generations. Withed a governor to work legislatures and all the School Districts involved to put in place put in place a plan for the city so every child in neighborhoods in the city of wilmington gets a good education and an opportunity to participate in the increasingly difficult and more competitive economy that we have today. At this point, i have to cut you off for time, there is a slight disconnect. 15 seconds, we will move to stop. You have 15 seconds and then it will say stop. Now for a time followup conversation and i want to encourage you to have the conversation and we will be here. I will turn it back to lindsay huffman. We have talked a lot of out wilmington so far. A report from the department this year shows crimes like robbery and burglary and assault and weapons law violations are on the rise in this city. What will you do can to combat crime . We will come back to you. Mr. Bonini exactly right exactly right. Smaller scale in smaller communities. In the case of dover, just like wilmington, you are talking about local police and Law Enforcement that have that as the primary responsibility. You talk about the Delaware State Police and officials report to the governor and they have to provide the leadership of and down the state to move more toward a communitybased approach to policing, where Law Enforcement is seen as somebody notng in to a neighborhood to occupy or approach everybody is if they are a criminal, but to work with the community to address the unique crime problems in each of the small towns. The crime and over is close to my heart. , there is ar shooting within two or three blocks of my oma matter. It seems like every month now. Is we need more police. Not be thehat might clinically correct thing to say you cannotth is, better yourself until you feel safe in your communities. Of the rural areas, we need more state troopers. They have been understaffed for years. The trial 911, it might be fortified minutes before you see a trooper. I did government has a responsibility to provide resources. Quickly, on the right track here, prosperity solves so many of the problems. And feelle are working safe and their families will be safe in economic environments, they are getting up and going to good jobs, solves a lot of the crime and drug outcomes. Thaterity and policies drive the economy we will visit the issue moving forward and we want to stay track and move forward to another topic. I do not know if an hour would be enough to discuss wilmington. James will be posing this question to mr. Carney. The corporations continue to pull jobs from delaware headquarters were moved to boston and they laid off recently. Is it worth giving out millions of dollars of tax break to these companies were should the states more on local businesses . Priority fore top the next governor and the legislator, to help with the transition of delawares economy to
