New Castle County, Delaware, Delaware News, Delaware Senate Race, Chris Coons, Cap and Trade, Christine O’Donnell
Chris Coons is married into a company called W.L Gore. He happens to be married to the CEO’s daughter. He also happens to have been a lobbyist for the company, a company that stands to gain from the Obama boondoggle Chris Coons aggressively pushes, Cap and Trade, a program that will tax the poor and middle class the hardest, and make his father-in-law
Here is how the company pushed for more regs to tax the poor and make millions for Chris Coons and his wealthy family:
In 2003, W.L. Gore Began To Actively Campaign For More Pollution Regulation. “In the past, the company avoided talking in public about its position on proposed environmental regulations because it didn’t want the companies that buy its air-cleaning filters to think Gore was trying to tighten standards just so it could sell more pollution control equipment, Coons said. Instead the company would go directly to its industrial clients with details about how Gore’s products could help them comply with current rules, or new rules being developed by federal regulators. ‘What we haven’t done in the past is said it in front of Congress,’ Coons said. Richard A. Bucher, the scientist who testified before the Senate in June, said that two years ago Gore would have declined the invitation of Delaware Sen. Tom Carper to speak publicly at a congressional hearing.” (Steven Church, “Gore Joins Environmental Policy Debate,” The [Wilmington, DE] News Journal, 11/16/03)

“First, the much ballyhooed position of public safety director, which Coons re-invented after it was off the books for eight years, has been vacant now for 14 months, just a couple months short of how long the last public safety director, Ron Frazier, held the job. … Since Frazier left, Coons has had a change of mind about the need for the public safety position, which has a $140,000 salary level. No word on whether they’ll abolish the spot with new legislation. So who’s holding down the spot now? None other than police Chief Rick Gregory, who at least on paper answers to himself since the chief reports to the public safety director

“‘I’m convinced residents want more, not less, of our services,’ Coons said. ‘But if we cannot get our employee expenses under control and find new revenue, we will continue to have a serious, ongoing problem that will re-emerge with a vengeance in two years.’” (Angie Basiouny, “Coons: Another Tough Year Coming,” The [Wilmington, DE] News Journal, 1/14/08)

JOSEPH J. FREEBERY, Appellant v. CHRISTOPHER A. COONS, in his official capacity as County Executive of New Castle County and in his individual capacity; NEW CASTLE COUNTY, a municipal corporation; JOHN AND JANE DOES 1-25
On Appeal From the United States District Court For the District of Delaware. (D.C. Civil Action No. 1-05-cv-00748). District Judge: Honorable Paul S. Diamond.
Freebery v. Coons, 589 F. Supp. 2d 409, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 94892 (D. Del., 2008)
For CHRISTOPHER A. COONS, in his official capacity as County Executive of New Castle County and in his individual Capacity, NEW CASTLE COUNTY, a municipal corporation, Defendants - Appellees: Michele D. Allen, Esq., Richard R. Wier, Jr., Esq., Richard R. Wier, Jr., Wilmington, DE; Gregg E. Wilson, Esq., New Castle County Law Department, New Castle, DE.
In 1984, Freebery began working for defendant New Castle County as its Superintendent of Parks. This position was a classified position within the New Castle County merit system. n1 In 1996, Thomas Gordon was elected County Executive of New Castle County. He appointed Freebery’s sister, Sherry Freebery, to serve as New Castle County’s Chief Administrative Officer. At that time, county departments were managed by Directors who were appointed by the County Executive. Pursuant to state law, Directors served at the pleasure of the County Executive and, thus, those positions were unclassified and unprotected by the New Castle County merit system.
In 2003, Christopher Coons — who was at that time President of the New Castle [*4] County Council — lobbied the Delaware legislature for a bill that would allow the County Executive to appoint General Managers that served at his pleasure, and, thereby change the General Manager to a position that was not protected by the merit system. Appellant Freebery opposed the bill and lobbied against it. The bill passed the Delaware House of Representatives but was not voted on in the Senate and, thus, was not enacted.
After the bill failed in 2003, Gordon wrote a memorandum to each General Manager. The memorandum explained that the General Manager positions were protected by the merit-system, and, therefore, the General Managers could not be terminated except for “just cause or non-performance.” [A 467-68] The memorandum, however, acknowledged that “someone could change state law” and thereby remove the protections. [A 467]
In 2004, Coons and Sherry Freebery opposed each other in the Democratic primary for the County Executive. Appellant Freebery supported his sister in the election. Coons defeated Sherry Freebery in the primary and won the general election. Shortly after taking office, County Executive Coons again lobbied the Delaware legislature to remove the General Manager [*5] position from merit system classification. This time, the bill passed both houses and became effective in February of 2005.
Coons and his staff then conducted a review of the county government. On April 6, 2005, Freebery was offered the choice of whether to retire, resign, or be terminated and chose termination. Freebery subsequently filed this civil action.
II.
The District Court granted summary judgment on Freebery’s Fourteenth Amendment due process claim, finding that Freebery had no protected interest in his job when he was terminated. In evaluating Freebery’s due process claim, we first determine “whether the asserted individual interests are encompassed within the fourteenth amendment’s protection of ‘life, liberty, and property.’” Dee v. Borough of Dunmore, 549 F.3d 225, 229 (3d Cir. 2008) (quoting Robb v. City of Phila., 733 F.2d 286, 292 (3d Cir. 1984)). If we conclude that such an interest is at stake, we then “decide what procedures constitute ‘due process of law.’” Id. (quoting Robb, 733 F.2d at 292).
