sharing state revenue with
Delaware's counties and incorpo-
rated cities and towns, recogniz-
ing that each of these entities has
need of an additional revenue
source," according to the legisla-
tion. The funding pie, in the legis-
lation introduced by Sen. Robert
Marshall (D-Wilmington West)
would slice up the money accord-
ing to population. The most popu-
lous areas would, in theory, have
greater needs and receive more
dollars. Rep. John Schroeder (D-
Lewes), Sen. Bob Voshell (D-
Milford), Rep. George Carey (R-
Slaughter Neck), Rep. Shirley
Price (D-Ocean View) and Sen.
George Bunting (D-Bethany
Beach) are other sponsors.
Bunting said the bill is a good
idea, but he pointed out many oth-
er ways in which the money can
be used. He noted that Frankford
has no police and said that al-

funding for police, it does far less
than New Castle County. "It's [the
bill] a good idea and it's some-
thing we should be doing."
Although he supports more po-
lice, Bunting also is a supporter of
more funding for sewer. "We need
sewer so badly in so many areas in
my district," he said. Schroeder
said the bill could provide perhaps
$15 million statewide. "It's a lot
better than nothing," he said,
adding that the legislation could
provide a measure of relief by the
state. Marshall estimated that
Wilmington could receive $3 mil-
lion, New Castle County could re-
ceive $6 million, Sussex County
(county and towns) could receive
$3 million and Kent County could
receive $3 million. Schroeder not-
ed that the state has a budget sur-
plus, but warned that there will be
a mass of legislative suggestions
for how to use that money. Still,
he remains optimistic. "I think it
will get a strong response in the
General assembly." Federal rev-
enue sharing was a hugely popular
program that provided funding to
the states for many programs.
for rural residential densities, but
that the appropriate criteria or
standards should be developed in
conjunction with the preparation
of the Delaware Conservation,
Development and Redevelopment
Plan and that the maximum rural
residential density developed dur-
ing the state planning process
should be transmitted to the legis-
lature for enactment into law."
