DelDOT secretly continues to support developer interest over citizens!!!

Dismayed yet again to read about our State Government official's continued actions to support developers over citizens at all costs.  Didn't they learn anything from the secret Minner deals with the NKS sweetheart deal?  Is this agency still being run by the staff kept on from the Minner administration?

From today's News Journal coverage (Click here for Link):

"DelDOT convinced lawmakers to agree to language in the agency's funding bill that's less restrictive from their original proposal, but may give a citizens group in New Castle County's chateau country a legal foothold to challenge the projects in court."Why should the taxpayers have to subsidize this out-of-state real-estate development trust in putting in its project?" said Richard Beck, a land-use attorney with Citizens for Responsible Growth, a civic group fighting both developments"

Please support the Citizens for Responsible Growth in New Castle County in any legal challenge.  This type of late night closed door action by any government agency is unconscionable and should be challenged vigorously.  If they do it in one place and get away with it, they are emboldened to do it in many other places.
