House Republicans Propose Five Professional Conduct Measures (from left) State House Majority Leader Richard Cathcart, State Rep. Greg Lavelle, State Sen. Charles Copeland and State Rep.

State Representatives Greg Lavelle (third from left) and Bob Valihura (fourth from left) recently helped celebrate the opening of the new Can-Do Playground as part of the new Alapocas Run State Park, off Weldin Road.
The Can-Do Playground is the first of its kind in Delaware, offering a public place where children, both with and without disabilities, can play and interact together.
The project was a public-private partnership that involved a collaborative effort between the state, local businesses and the tremendous efforts of Delaware rotary club members. Reps. Lavelle and Valihura were pleased to have been able to play a part in helping to set aside the land and to secure a potion of the funding needed to complete the project. The Division of Parks and Recreation and DelDOT also played a significant role in making sure the playground was exactly what the community had envisioned for children with all levels of ability.
Also pictured (from left): Division of Parks and Recreation Director Chazz Salkin, Project Team Leader Tom Talley of Brandywine Rotary Club and Gil Smith of the Wilmington Rotary Club.

Rep. Lavelle sponsored House Bill 264 that adds a surcharge of 50% to all Title 21 offenses. The value of the surcharge will be transferred to the Transportation Trust Fund, with a limit being transferred the first year to make sure the General Fund and the local governments are not inversely impacted. The last comprehensive increase in traffic fines was in 1991.
