Primary • Newark's high school units prepare for season voting Saturday 26th District candidates have different styles by Michael Ricci The major issues facing both candidates in this Saturday's 26th Representative District primary election are familiar to Newark residents: education, the environment, traffic congestion, planning and county develop­ ment. But the approach being taken to these issues by candidates Bob Hopkins and Ken Boulden is quite different. Hopkins said he sees a need for major changes in regional plann­ ing and development patterns. "The present situation is chaotic," he said. " We need to put pressure on the county to come up with a comprehensive plan." In addition, Hopkins said, the state must take a more active role in monitoring environmental and traffic problems in the region. Boulden is using an unusual and much different campaign ap­ proach than Hopkins. " I think issues will decide the general election," he said, but not the Glasgow High School band members practice marching.

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.
