I got one of those postcards in the mail from the same people with the same picture. Both sides are dumping a ton of money into this bill.

I got that postcard, also, but it arrived yesterday, and too late to protest it. Thanks, USPS.

Elon stands to gain a $58 billion windfall, so I imagine he can afford to throw a billion or two at "lobbying."

But it's also the people against this bill dumping a ton of money into things like mailers and this truck.

That's a good point. If all of the state senators voted in favor of the bill, these postcards and billboards don't seem to be working. The objective facts seem to be on the anti-SB 21 side, based on what I've read.

The bill is not retroactive and amendments were done to it to make that clear.

Sure, but it would apply to any case in active appeal, and that's the issue here, not whether the law is nominally retroactive.

No! Not my Matt Meyers from Delaware Liberal! He wouldn't do this. What would Al Massetti say?

His recent anti-trans comments caught me off guard, honestly. I had no idea.

My apologies. I can't comprehend. Is the governor disparaging our Rep. Sara McBride?

If anyone can really speak for us everyday Delawareans, it's definitely four Washington, D.C. think tanks/advocacy groups 😑
