This might be the most dangerous bill we've ever seen in Delaware. It gives one person, the Secretary of DNREC, total dominion over a land area the size of New Castle County. It takes that power away from county and municipal governments.
This much concentration of power in the hands of one person is wrong. Once this bill becomes law, it will make the legislators even more impotent (in comparison to the Secretary of DNREC) than they've ever been.
Regardless of political promises that might be made to get the bill passed, what will prevent the regulations from changing to fit the vision of any Secretary in the future? The answer is nothing. Freedom will constantly be threatened.
