A bill sponsored by House Majority Leader Pete Schwartzkopf and Speaker Robert Gilligan lost support of Democratic co-sponsors this week after concerns were raised about limiting employment opportunities for Delaware's 62 part-time legislators.
House Bill 75 was introduced in direct response to News Journal stories about Senate President Pro Tem Anthony DeLuca's second job as a full-time administrator at the Department of Labor, where he has split his time as a senator since 2005. Other lawmakers have cited Sussex Technical School District's eyebrow-raising decision to hire Sen. Joseph Booth into a newly created job last year as a reason to end the decades-long practice.
