Legislative Update: Carney takes office, lawmakers tackle abandoned property rules

Delaware Public Media

After Gov. John Carney’s inauguration, the new governor and lawmakers got to work in Dover.

Carney signed his first executive order, creating a taskforce to look at replacing the state’s Economic Development Office. He also offered a transition report to help guide his first months in office.

And the State Senate passed a bill addressing Delaware's handling of  abandoned property.

Our political reporter James Dawson stopped by The Green to provide some perspective on these stories.
