THE NEW CASTLE COUNTY ETHICS CODE AND COMMISSION This is the New Castle County Ethics Commission's Annual Report for 2020, which was an unusual year, on many levels. It was an election year, which always involves certain ethics issues, but much of the unique nature of 2020 was derived from the existence of the COVID19 pandemic and the measures which were taken by the New Castle County government and the Ethics Commission for health and safety reasons. The Ethics Commission and its staff adapted quickly to the changing needs and circumstances presented in 2020 so that the statutory mandate of the Commission could be met on an ongoing basis, as further described in this report. The New Castle County Code of Ethics, Section 2.03.100 et seq. and 2.04.100 et seq. (the "Code"), originally adopted in April 1990, establishes and codifies minimum ethical standards for County officials and County employees.

  • Basic Information Biden Was Born on November 20, 1942 (77)
    1 ● Basic information12 ○ Biden was born on November 20, 1942 (77), in Scranton, Pennsylvania. ○ In 1953, The Bidens moved to Claymont, Delaware, and then eventually to Wilmington, Delaware. ○ Biden earned his bachelor’s degree in 1965 from the University of Delaware, with a double major in history and political science. ○ Biden graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968 and was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1969. ■ During his first year at Syracuse, Biden was accused of plagiarizing five of fifteen pages of a law review article. As a result, he failed the course and had to retake it. The plagiarism incident has resurfaced during various political campaigns. ● Early political career3 ○ After graduating from law school, Biden began practicing law as a public defender and then for a firm headed by Sid Balick, a locally active Democrat. Biden would go on to officially register as a Democrat at this time. ○ At the end of 1969, Biden ran to represent the 4th district on the New Castle County Council, a usually Republican district. ■ He served on the County Council from 1970 to 1972, while continuing his private law practice. ● 1972 US Senate campaign ○ In 1972, longtime Delaware political figure and Republican incumbent Senator J. Caleb Boggs was considering retirement, which would likely have left US Representative Pete du Pont and Wilmington Mayor Harry G. Haskell Jr. in a divisive primary fight. ■ To avoid that, President Nixon convinced Boggs to run again with full party support which kept several known Democrats out of the race. ○ Biden’s grassroots campaigned, managed by his sister Valerie Biden Owens, focused on withdrawals from Vietnam, the environment, civil rights, mass transit, more equitable taxation, and health care.
