Delaware Senate Approves Major FY27 Budget

Delaware’s Senate just approved a massive $7.145 billion budget for fiscal year 2027 — a 6.3% jump from last year — packed with raises, education funding, and healthcare boosts for workers and retirees. State employees get 3% pay hikes, educators see at least that much plus extra for nurses and teachers, while retirees get 1-2% increases based on retirement date. Over $2.5 billion goes to K-12 schools, restoring cut funding and supporting 140K students, and higher ed gets support too. Health insurance premiums and pension investments also get major boosts. The Senate passed it unanimously — now it heads to the House. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
