DOVER, Del. – Governor John Carney on Tuesday released the following statement on House Bill 195 and House Bill 196, which passed in the Delaware State House and Senate.
“Delawareans expect us to pass a responsible, sustainable budget that protects taxpayer money and makes our state more competitive. This budget does exactly that. We are raising salaries for teachers, getting more resources in our highest-needs classrooms, investing in affordable housing, and continuing to save for more difficult years. I want to thank members of the General Assembly and the Joint Finance Committee – especially the committee chairs, Representative Carson and Senator Paradee – for their hard work and partnership.”
