Hunter,

Have a look below. We are approaching the finish line. What a fucking
project--every time one hurdle is surmounted, another arises. City
resolutions, deed restrictions, a few crotchety people. It's almost all
done. Hoping you get a call from Jack this week.

> and women -- are better for it."

>
> Among those in favor of the naming were former leaders of the Supreme

> Norman Veasey said. "*This Courthouse is a center of justice.  Naming it
> for him  is a most fitting tribute to his memory.*"*
>
>
> Pursuant to the Bond Bill, the director of the Office of Management and
> Budget designates the name of state-owned judiciary buildings. After
> consultation with several city, state, and community leaders, Governor
> Markell instructed OMB Director Ann Visalli to name the building after
> Biden.
>
>
> "Over the last several weeks, in the aftermath of the overwhelming
> outpouring of support we saw all over Delaware, several leaders contacted
> me with a similar suggestion for how to permanently honor Beau," said
> Governor Markell.  "Beau made Delaware a better place for all of our people
> because, most of all, he had extraordinary heart. And from that heart, he
> lived a life that is a model for all of us.  I'm proud to help honor him."
