Delaware lawmakers recess after marathon final night
DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware lawmakers on Sunday ushered in a new fiscal year mired in a political stalemate prompted by a $1 minimum wage increase that was rammed through in the middle of the night by Democratic leaders and caused angered Republicans to block an $816 million capital budget.
Lawmakers gathered Saturday afternoon for the final day of the 2018 legislative session, but dawn broke Sunday with Republicans and Democrats at an impasse that left two budget bills hanging in the balance.
