Governor Matt Meyer delivered his annual State of the State address earlier this week to a joint session of the Delaware General Assembly. The 47-minute speech touched on a myriad of issues, including broad proposals for public education, childcare, affordable housing, and energy availability.
Afterward, House Minority Leader Tim Dukes (R-Laurel) and House Minority Whip Jeff Spiegelman (R-Townsend, Clayton, Smyrna) offered their perspectives on the governor’s remarks, applauding him in some instances and taking issue with him in others.
Both leaders stressed that the State of the State address is not a detailed document but rather a general outline, providing insights into the chief executive’s priorities for the upcoming year. More significant information will be released next week when Gov. Meyer unveils his proposed state operating and capital budgets for Fiscal Year 2027.
