What You Won't Hear About New Castle County From The County Executive!

True picture of New Castle County? This is not what you will hear from Paul Clark
Middletown Transcript —
New Castle County union leaders at the Civic League for New Castle County:
The union presidents shared their concerns...such as being short staffed in areas where more manpower is needed.
- "We're short staffed," Dan Tharby, president of Local 349- skilled trades ...
- Joe Lavelle, a retired county police officer who represents the police officers through FOP Lodge 5, said that he feels a sense of frustration when dealing with the county. A county police officer's starting salary is lower than that of a University of Delaware officer's, he said. The force is also 22 officers short.
- There also aren't enough paramedics in the field, said Local 3911 President Kenneth Dunn who represents the paramedics. There are about 100 personnel total, with only about 85 on the streets
- there was a five-percent raise for all appointed county positions last year and that county council has never amended the executive's budget when put before them.
