In the second installment of Senator Coons’ “Correspondence from the Commute” video series, Chris responds to constituents’ questions about the energy efficiency of light bulbs, the Defense of Marriage Act, the Republicans’ reckless budget proposal, education reform, high-speed rail and the Blue Rocks’ home opener.
Chris recorded this batch of videos last Thursday morning, aboard his Acela train from Wilmington.
“This month I heard from a lot of constituents concerned about the reckless cuts in the Republicans’ budget proposal,” Senator Coons said. “While Congress must tackle long-term deficit reduction that examines both expenditures and revenues, the House proposal would gut programs that are important to a lot of Delawareans, and they’re speaking up about it. I genuinely appreciate that feedback and hope Delawareans continue to advocate for the programs and projects that are most important to them.”
Videos released today include responses to:
- Keith from New Castle about the BULB Act and energy-efficient light bulbs
- John from Wyoming, Del. about the Defense of Marriage Act
- Mary Jane from Milton about proposed cuts to the Corporation for National and Community Service
- Brandon from Newark about high-speed rail
- Sara from Newport about the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the value of museums to students’ learning
- Dave from New Castle about the Blue Rocks’ home opener
