First Person: Gov. Jack Markell

Wednesday we were talking politics, today we want to look at what’s ahead for Delaware. Are funding improvements to infrastructure and cleaning up the state’s waterways top priorities? Are we going to be talking about gas taxes and an annual fee again when the General Assembly’s new session begins? Joining us as our First Person guest this week to discuss all of this is Delaware Governor Jack Markell.

Delaware Today

It’s been 25 years since the 1989 conviction of a Delaware serial killer who terrorized the Route 40 corridor, preying on young women in 1987 and 1988. We teamed up with Delaware Today Magazine for the story of Steven Pennell. We hear from both the prosecutor and the undercover cop who helped break the case.
