  • Cannabis legalization may return for a vote in 2022, sponsor says

    Rep. Ed Osienski, D-Newark. It may not be the end of the line for recreational marijuana legalization in Delaware. While Rep. Ed Osienski’s House Bill 305 was defeated in the House of Representatives after a stunning series of events Thursday, the Newark Democrat said he’s still hopeful that cannabis prohibition could come to an end in 2022.  “I hope there’s still a path forward,” he said in an interview with Delaware LIVE News. “I’ve got to be optimistic.” One way he said it could happen is with a bill that would only require a simple majority, or 21 votes, to pass.  Thursday’s bill needed â…— of the 41-member House because it sought to establish new fees on potential marijuana sales and licenses. That comes out to 25 votes. 23 representatives voted yes, 14 voted no, and 4 did not vote. No Republican supported the bill. RELATED: Marijuana legalization fails after stunning series of events, political maneuvering Two Republicans – Rep. Mike Smith, R-Pike Creek, and Rep. Jeff Spiegelman, R-Clayton – had both signaled support for legalization. Smith had even told colleagues and advocates that he planned to vote for the bill. Then, Smith introduced four amendments at the last minute. The amendments, among other things, sought to make changes to who would be eligible for growing, selling and testing licenses depending on their criminal history.  Only one of the four amendments passed, prompting Smith to say Democrats would be to blame for the bill’s demise.  “I came here today to vote for the legalization of marijuana,” Smith said. “I went to roll call on those amendments just to prove that you guys do not care about bipartisanship – and this state needs to change.” “I hope people remember this moment because you killed the legalization of marijuana.” Osienski said he was surprised that Smith decided to move forward with the amendments. Other legislators had approached him and asked if the changes Smith was proposing could be made.  “I explained that they could be problematic in my caucus, but I’ve always been willing to work to come to some sort of compromise so I could get the legislation passed,” Osienski said. “Naturally, I said I would be supportive if it would get this bill over the finish line.” At some point before the vote, word got to Osienski that Smith planned to go “not voting” on the bill. Osienski assumed that meant Smith would drop his amendments, too.  When the amendments surfaced “out of nowhere” on Thursday, Osienski said he went to colleagues in his caucus to try and gather support for them with the sole focus of trying to pass the bill.  “Some felt it took steps back from the social equity part of the bill,” he said. “If those amendments were attached, I was going to lose much-needed votes in my own caucus.” “It’s one of those things where if I address their needs, then I lose support in another direction,” he said. Osienski knew at that point that the bill faced an uphill battle to pass in the House. “But I insisted that all the advocates and Delawareans that have been supporting the passage of HB 305 deserved to know where my colleagues – their legislators – stood on this bill,” he said. “Even though I kind of knew it didn’t have the support, you never know what could happen when somebody’s name is called.” He said he doesn’t think Smith was trying to play any type of political trick.  “I don’t think he was fully aware of some of the conversations that were going on,” Osienski said. “Maybe he just didn’t get all the information from his colleagues in his caucus, so I understand his frustration, because he may have been misled on where we were with this and I think he’s starting to understand that now.” Smith could not be reached for comment Friday. Osienski said he’s going to start working immediately on other ways to get a bill passed. He cited wide bipartisan support among Delawareans and noted that many stakeholders who previously objected to legalization no longer do.  “The only two strong oppositions that remain are law enforcement and the governor,” Osienski said.  In Delaware, the governor must sign or veto legislation within 10 days after transmittal, excluding Sunday, or it becomes law without their signature. “I always kind of felt that’s what he would do,” Osienski said, referring to Gov. John Carney, who doesn’t support marijuana legalization. “He doesn’t want it but he doesn’t want to veto it,” Osienski continued. “I think his staff put a lot of energy and pressure on my colleagues because he wanted it not to come to his desk, because of the fact that he’s probably the only Democratic governor in the country that does not support this.” One way Osienski is considering moving forward is by drafting a bill that would require only a simple majority to pass rather than the â…— majority required of House Bill 305.  “There’s a couple of options out there,” he said. “We had some conversations yesterday and it’s given me hope that there’s willingness to sit around and try to figure out a different option – something that may look a little different but may have a better outcome.” Asked if Delawareans could still see marijuana be legalized for recreational use in 2022, Osienski said he hopes so. “I do want to work on it some more to hopefully move something else forward this year,” he said. “If not, then it is an election year, so we may have some new faces and maybe that helps.” No matter what, Osienski said he’s not giving up the fight. “I’m going start immediately working on something else,” he said. “It may look different than this but I do think there’s still a path forward because there’s so much support for it in Delaware.”

  • William Penn forces late turnovers to defeat Cape Henlopen

    William Penn vs Cape Henlopen Football The fireworks began on the opening kickoff and the Colonials and Vikings kept that pace throughout the game totaling 90 points between them and the teams combined for 761 yards in total offense. In the end two Cape Henlopen turnovers led to scores for Wm Penn and the Colonials left Legends Stadium with a 52-38 win in a Class AAA non district contest. “This is the most exciting football game I have ever been a part of in my coaching career, let me tell you Cape is a very good 0-3 team,” Wm Penn head coach Matt Sabol said. The excitement started on the opening kickoff when Cape Henlopen’s Maurki James returned the kick 80 yards for a touchdown. Hank D’Ambrogi’s kick was no good and the Vikings took an early 6-0 lead. Wm. Penn answered on their first drive of the game when Jacob Tiberi connected with David Dunston for a five yard touchdown pass. Jordan Jones added the PAT and the Colonials led 7-6 with 8:33 to play in the first quarter. Tiberi finished the game completing 18 of 23 passes for 285 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. The back and forth continued as the Vikings answered when James scored his second touchdown on a 2 yard run. D’Ambrogi ran in the two point conversion giving Cape Henlopen a 14-7 lead with 1:36 left in the first quarter. Tiberi struck again early in the second quarter when he found Tayvione Squarrell for a 25 yard touchdown pass. Jones was good on the PAT kick and the score was tied at 14-14. Cape Henlopen would need just 14 seconds to answer the Colonials score when Chancler Johnson went off the left side for a 54 yard touchdown run. D’Abrogi added the point after kick giving the Vikings a 21-14 lead with 10:02 to play in the first half. Tiberi and Dunston hooked up again this time on a nine yard touchdown pass. On the PAT the Colonials faked the kick and Tiberi rolled out to the right finding Squarrell in the front corner of the endzone for the two point conversion. Wm Penn led 22-21 with 4:58 left in the first half. Cape Henlopen continued the back and forth battle when Thomas Messick went around left end, down the sideline and then cut back to the middle of the field for a 20 yard touchdown run. Daniel Saez plunged in on the two point conversion and the Vikings took back the lead 29-22 with 3:05 to play in the first half. As Wm. Penn drove into Cape territory Jack Schell came on a blitz and sacked Tiberi causing a fumble, Malaki Lewis recovered the fumble at the Colonials 42 yard line with just a minute to play in the first half. Cape Henlopen drove down to the Wm. Penn seven yard line where they settled for a Hank D’Ambrogi 24 yard field goal taking a 32-22 lead into halftime. The Vikings would increase their lead with 7:06 to play in the third quarter on a 67 yard touchdown run by Johnson, his second touchdown of the game. The PAT was blocked and the Vikings jumped out to a 38-22 lead early in the second half. With 1:31 to play in the third quarter Wm. Penn would score the first of 30 unanswered points to close out the game. Holman scored on a three yard touchdown pass from Tiberi followed by a Tiberi to Squarrell pass play for 35 yards. The Colonials converted both of the two point tries tying the game at 38-38 with :18 to play in the third quarter. Squarrell caught five passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns for the Colonials. Holman would add touchdown runs of one yard and 46 yards in the fourth quarter as the Colonial took a 52-38 lead with just 3:15 to play in the game. The go ahead touchdown was set up by a one handed catch by Holman in traffic in the middle of the field giving Wm. Penn a first and goal. “Oh my, we were at a fourth a seven thinking do we punt or go for it. We were looking to get a match up on a linebacker and Markell and Jacob got a great read on it,” Sabol said. Holman rushed for 202 yards on 25 carries, caught five passes for 96 yards and scored three touchdowns for Wm. Penn. This was the third 100 yard plus game of the season for Holman. “Markell is kind of the heartbeat of our team right now, he’s got some meat on him and is tough to bring down. Our offensive line did a great job giving him room to run tonight,” Sabol said. Cape Henlopen had some stars of their own in taking the loss. Johnson rushed for 173 yards on seven carries with two touchdowns. James scored a pair of touchdowns and had an interception for the Vikings. Cape Henlopen travels to Dover on Thursday, September 23 with kickoff at 5:00pm. Wm. Penn will host Hodgson on Saturday, September 25 for their homecoming. Kickoff will be at 2:30.

  • Juneteenth joins Thanksgiving, MLK Day as official state holiday
    a group of people posing for the camera

    Opal Lee, left in gray, watches Gov. John Carney sign the bill making Juneteenth an official state holiday.   Juneteenth is now an officially recognized state holiday in Delaware. The holiday commemorates the date on which the last enslaved African Americans in the United States were emancipated, on June 19, 1865, more than two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.  On that day, two months after the end of the Civil War, Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger in Galveston, Texas, issued General Order No. 3, which announced that in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation, “all slaves are free.” Juneteenth has been celebrated annually, especially within African American communities, since 1865. It wasn’t until June 17, 2021, however, that the holiday was officially recognized when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Gov. John Carney on Wednesday followed Biden’s lead by signing House Bill 119, which affirms the day’s status as a permanent legal holiday. He signed the bill during a community breakfast event alongside civil rights leader Opal Lee, who is widely regarded as the Grandmother of Juneteenth. In 2016, Lee, then 89 years old, walked 1,400 miles from her home in Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C. to advocate for making Juneteenth a national holiday.  Lee was present when Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act. “I believe the least that each of us can do is commit to learning the lessons of our shared history — the good and the bad. That’s why this legislation is so important,” Carney said in a press release announcing the bill’s signing. “Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the United States. This holiday will offer an opportunity to encourage open dialogue, and to recommit to treating one another with more respect.” House Bill 119 is the work of Rep. Sherry Dorsey Walker, D-Wilmington, Sen. Darius Brown, D-Wilmington, and others.  The bill is part of the Delaware Legislative Black Caucus’ Justice for All agenda, a legislative action plan unveiled in June 2020 following the George Floyd murder and subsequent nationwide calls for racial justice and police reform.  “We are not that far removed from an era in which Americans owned other people as property,” Dorsey Walker said. “My great-grandparents were born slaves, and their struggle to achieve freedom, equality and opportunity has been passed down through my family. This story is the same for so many Black families.”  She said that by placing Juneteenth on the same level as other holidays such as Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Delaware recognizes the significance of the holiday and what it means to Black people throughout Delaware and beyond. Brown called the bill’s signing an “important milestone for Black Delawareans that recognizes our struggle, celebrates our accomplishments and continues our contributions to this country, this state and this moment in history.”
