The Reading Clerk read the following communications into the record at the request of Representative Plant: June 5, 1980 Memorandum Dear Colleagues of this Assembly: I call on your support of the resolution I am about to introduce. With our busy schedules and the many problems to be solved for the citizens of Delaware, I can honestly say that it pains me to have to bring this matter to your attention. I feel insulted as a legislator that apparently some members of the Grant-in-Aid Committee no longer adhere to our long-established tradition of representatives' prerogative for organizations to be funded in our districts. 267 This is a dangerous precedent - for it means that as legislators we will now have open war in every legislative district in the State. Well, if this is the way the game will be played, I can stand the heat. The most important factor in my mind regarding my opposition to funds for Northeast Area Partners is public accountability for funds. Every legislator here has a public duty to not only respond to questions posed by constituents, but to raise questions when he or she feels there are no programs or public accountability for expenditures of public funds on the part of any community organization. Funds are too scarce and the people's needs too great to allow a do-nothing organization to be funded when we don't have enough available funds for hard-working and effective community organizations. I would not oppose the funding of NEAP if they could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, after a State Auditor General audit, that funds were actually spent to benefit community persons. By their own public admission, funds allocated for an entire fiscal year were spent in four months, mainly on the salary of one person who received $14,000 out of a $25,000 allocation. Channel 12 TV took cameras to the location and it was closed on a normal work day. The Senator from the District admits he knows nothing about NEAP. Ttey have not adhered to 6508, Title 29 requiring an annual report. There was no reply for many months to my request for information - and then a collection of what were hastily assembled documents, prepared within a short time span, was made available (not to me). I think it is certain that NEAP could not stand scrutiny by an independent auditor. By public admission, NEAP has held no Board meetings in months. Since I have been accused of having some self-serving motive for my opposition to this funding, it is appropriate to mention that I have received many complaints from citizens in the northeast area of Wilmington about lack of services and about there being no one around to provide services. Utilities have been cut off for non-payment. Two Board members of Kingswood Community Center, one of the oldest and most respected organizations in the area, as well as other community organizations and community individuals, have written to me asking for an investigation of NEAP. If we are going to allow organizations to circumvent the area's elected Representative - then we are asking for real problems. Al O. Plant, Sr., Representative 2nd Representative District P.S. I should like to point out the consistency of my positions on matters of this type. Since I have been critical of various other situations and have not hesitated to make my views known, it would be hypocritical for me to ignore something in my own district that needs correcting. August 14, 1979 268 Mr. Raymond T. Evans, President Northeast Area Partners, Inc. 2617 North Claymont Street Wilmington, Delaware 19802 Dear Ray: Approximately eight weeks ago, at an Affirmative Action meeting in the Northeast Area Partners Building, I did request that you consider calling a meeting of the Northeast Area Partners Board so that several issues pertaining to the Northeast Area Partners, Inc. and the community it is supposed to serve could be discussed. Since that time no such meeting has been called. As State Representative for that area I do need to be privileged to receive certain information so that I can respond to the various questions that have been and continue to be posed to me by Mr. Charles H. Debnam and the Northeast State Service Center and members of Kingswood board. Again, I do respectfully request that you call a Board meeting which will be open to the public so that those persons in the community who want to know what Northeast Area Partners is doing can have their questions answered directly by the Board. I do not believe the Board has any problems opening its books to the community for a financial check, or otherwise. Your immediate co-operation will be appreciated. Sincerely, Al O. Plant, Sr., Representative 2nd Representative District Chairman, Community Affairs Committee Copy: Rev. Calvin Jones Mr. Charles H. Debnam Representative Plant introduced and brought HR 230 before the House for consideration. HR 230 - Requesting a Copy of the Annual Report, a Copy of an Independent Audit, and Other Information From the Northeast Area Partners, Inc., a Recipient Under the Grants-in-Aid Law. HR 230 was adopted by voice vote. The Majority Leader moved to adjoum at 2:15 p.m., thereby ending the previous legislative day. The House reconvened at 2:16 p.m. A prayer was offa-ed by Representative Hebner, Ninth District. The Speaker led those present in a salute to the Flag. The Chi fl Clerk called the roll.

At that time, it existed only in newsprint form. In the months since the history first appeared, however, the response from the general public has been such that I and my employers at Community Newspapers, Inc., have decided to publish this permanent, limited edition of one thousand copies for those readers who wish to own a copy of the history in more durable form than its original newspaper version. In publishing the history in permanent form; we realize that we owe much to the nine Sussex County firms and organizations who sponsored the original printing. We also feel that their original sponsoring pages are an integral part of the whole. For that reason, those pages are a part of this edition as they were of the original.
