I went to see Suffs in New York a couple of weeks ago and was really taken with suffragist Ruza Wenclawska. I was disappointed with the lack of biographical info about her online. No one even knew when she died! So here's the result of my research so far. medium.com/@JanetLinden...

Charles Elson, the founding director of the UD center for Corporate Governance on this bill: “They’re making a terrible mistake . . . If this bill does pass, it’s damaging to Delaware.”

The latest, lucid update on bad law being hastily made in Delaware “Four lawmakers voted against SB 313 in the House Judiciary Committee. The amendments, which some have called a bailout for private equity, now head to the floor for a final vote.”

The hearing was notable, too, for how the bill's proponents DID NOT DEIGN to address, in any significant way, the many questions raised by business ppl, lawyers, & profs about the text, its effects, or the drafting process. In fact, they repeated, near-verbatim, the script from the Senate hearing.

Today's Delaware House Judiciary Com meeting on SB 313 was enlightening in many respects. This exchange (1:20-1:33), btwn Rep. Sean Lynn & expert witness Prof. Usha Rodrigues is a *masterclass* of policy discussion – highlighting the bill's many deficiencies sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00329/harmon...

This wasn't too surprising; the Delaware Way is not a dialogue, after all. But it was as a sign of disrespect to the other legislators (perhaps intentional?) who DID raise questions, and DID call other witnesses to give the matter full consideration. Kudos to those folks, & esp. Rep. Wilson-Anton

Today was my first time visiting the Delaware General Assembly while it was in session, and I saw some of the most petulantly red-faced toddler behavior & some of the most impressive, informed and clear-eyed policy discussions I’ve ever seen in person. Truly, Delaware is a land of contrasts.

A conversational update on the status of Delaware’s rush to implement private equity’s worst ideas, to the nation’s detriment. (My amateur citizen’s observations are leavened by actual expertise on the law and DE politics, don’t worry)

More on proposed changes to the DGCL. It's inside baseball so I get why mainstream reporters haven't picked this up, but the changes not only impact who wields power in corporations - a huge issue - but portend a real shift in how Delaware law is made - which matters for the economy generally
