Despite these challenges, the DuPont administration would achieve long-lasting solutions to the State’s woes and improve the lives of Delaware’s citizens. Larry Nagengast’s history of the DuPont administration is drawn from interviews conducted with the real people who made this change happen, including Governor DuPont himself.
