Flowers Applauds Dept. of Finance Decision
Wilmington, Del. - On January 25, the NewsJournal printed a special op-ed by Chipman Flowers, Jr., Esq., President and Managing Member of The Flowers Counsel Group, LLC. In the op-ed, Flowers commends the Markell Administration for reversing its decision to eliminate Delaware's Department of Finance in the current recession.
Below is the complete text of the Mr. Flowers' op-ed:
"Last August, I had the opportunity to submit a Delaware Voice piece highlighting my strong opposition to eliminating the Delaware Department of Finance in the current economic climate.
Last week, the Markell administration announced its decision not to eliminate the department, and I want to commend the administration, members of the General Assembly, labor unions and those other organizations and individuals responsible for the decision to preserve this important resource for our state government.
While the quest for efficiency in government is critical in these turbulent times, we must remember that the fundamental role of our state government is to employ those resources necessary and proper to protect and promote prosperity throughout Delaware.
We must continue to seek efficiencies. Preservation of the Department of Finance is the initial step in determining the roles that each of our financial agencies and departments should have as we emerge from the depths of this recession.
As a candidate for state treasurer, I will continue to promote an ongoing discussion on how to revamp the state's financial offices - the Treasurer's Office, Department of Finance, the Office of Management and Budget and the Delaware Economic Development Office - in a way that will enhance state revenues and position our state government to meet the economic challenges of the 21st century."
