Tonight is crunch night for state legislators

DOVER— State lawmakers are entering the final day of this year’s legislative session with plenty of work still left to do.

While the House and Senate have passed a $4 billion operating budget for the fiscal year that starts tomorrow, a controversial school redistricting plan for Wilmington backed by Gov. Jack Markell is languishing in the Senate, much to the frustration of Wilmington-area lawmakers.

House and Senate lawmakers were scheduled to convene this evening and work into the early morning hours before bringing down the gavel on this year’s legislative session.
