The system is broken - and we can fix it...

The city of Wilmington is in the process of becoming a truly awesome city - a place where entrepreneurs, artists, educators, and businesses create incredible things.

Since October of 2011, the citizens, business community, arts community, Wilmington City Officials, and others have been engaged in improving the parking and parking enforcement issues in the city of Wilmington.

Huge progress has been made and the direction we are going as a community is extremely positive!

This blog chronicles the efforts of all who helped make this happen...

Beau Biden, Mike Castle, and me...

I'm getting one of three awards from the Delaware Community Reinvestment Action Council at their 25th Anniversary Banquet on October 5 - the other two awards are going to Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden and former U.S. Congressman Mike Castle.




Mike Castle is being honored with the James H. Sills Jr. CRA Leadership Award for his lifelong dedication to public service, as two-term Governor for the state of Delaware and our nine-term U.S. Congressman. Mike Castle has been consistent in his vision, courage and leadership 
throughout his career in public service. Governor Castle maintained the delicate 
balance between the needs of economic development with the challenges facing 
the citizens.

Beau Biden is receiving the Board of Directors' Award for his efforts to fight against deceptive 
practices, securing assistance for service men and women, staying consumer 
focused with mortgage task force events throughout the state of Delaware and 
aggressive community outreach.

The organization is giving me the Excellence in Community Service Award for my activities in the past year with the city of Wilmington on the parking ticket issues - an award that I would like to share with the many people who worked together in that effort, including residents, business owners, and city officials who all brought together great ideas and made them happen.
