• From WHYY: Critics demand transparency on source of Delaware funding for Edgemoor port project (delawarebusinessnow.com) — State officials are facing growing criticism for not explaining where Delaware will find an extra $110 million to cover ballooning costs at the Port of Wilmington’s Edgemoor container terminal. Lawmakers and open-government advocates say residents deserve clarity on which funds might be tapped, especially as the project is repeatedly justified as a long-term jobs and economic boost for the Edgemoor area.
