Messages from the President and the Executive Director
As President of the Local League of Goverments for the year 2011, I look forward to working with our legislators of the State of Delaware, our counties, and each and every one of our 57 municipalities. We all face common challenges as elected officals. Together we can achieve more to serve our constituency and address the quality-of-life issues at the local, state, and even national levels. Let us make this year one of accomplishments that can further benefit the people of our towns and state. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
Carleton E. Carey Sr.
Mayor, City of Dover
As the Executive Director of the Delaware League of Local Governments for the past 17 years, I am so proud of the many accomplishments that have been achieved with little or no staff; however, with the help of the City of Dover, Town of Smyrna, Town of Camden, and family and friends, this league is recognized throughout the United States. Our latest endeavor is this website, which was endorsed by our League President James Ford. This site will need the endorsement of all of our municipalities and three counties. A special thanks to [DLLG lobbyist] Rhett Ruggerio, [DLLG executive assistant] Don Mulrine, and [the University of Delaware Institute for Public Administration’s] Mark Deshon for their special expertise. Each month we will highlight a “Municipality of the Month.” Thanks for your support and dedication to the League, and with your support the DLLG website will be first class.
—George Wright, Executive Director
