Sussex County - News
The Budget Committee is recommending that the County Council approve a 25 percent across-the-board property tax credit for FY 05. After 13 years of the Countys finances finishing the year with revenues exceeding expenditures, the Budget Committee believes that County finances would not be put in jeopardy by allowing a one-time 25 percent reduction. This credit would appear on the FY 05 tax bills. All property owners in the County would be eligible for the credit as long as their past year property taxes are current as of July 1, 2004. The 25 percent reduction would be deducted from the tax bill for FY 05. This rebate would only apply to the County portion of the property tax bill. Continuation of this program for future budgets would be done on a year-to-year basis. It must be understood that this is not a tax reduction, as tax rates will remain at the current level. The Budget Committee believes this will be beneficial to individuals as well as businesses in Sussex County. ... [Read More]

NARA | Exhibit Hall | The Founding Fathers: Delaware
Broom was not a distinguished patriot. His only recorded service was the preparation of maps for George Washington before the Battle of Brandywine, PA. In 1776, at 24 years of age, Broom became assistant burgess of Wilmington. Over the next several decades, he held that office six times and that of chief burgess four times, as well as those of borough assessor, president of the city "street regulators," and justice of the peace for New Castle County. ... Dickinson, "Penman of the Revolution," was born in 1732 at Crosiadore estate, near the village of Trappe in Talbot County, MD. He was the second son of Samuel Dickinson, the prosperous farmer, and his second wife, Mary (Cadwalader) Dickinson. In 1740 the family moved to Kent County near Dover, DE., where private tutors educated the youth. In 1750 he began to study law with John Moland in Philadelphia. In 1753 Dickinson went to England to continue his studies at London's Middle Temple. Four years later, he returned to Philadelphia and became a prominent lawyer there. In 1770 he married Mary Norris, daughter of a wealthy merchant. The couple had at least one daughter. ... [Read More]
Sussex County - Paramedics
SCEMS is a non-transporting EMS agency, using six (soon to be seven) specially designed rapid response vehicles. Our staff of 87 paramedics and support personnel provides ALS service to a 964 square mile area (the largest of Delaware’s three counties) and a year-round population of 156,000. Our summer population increases to half a million as part-time residents and tourists come to enjoy our beautiful Atlantic beaches. We answer more than 12,000 ALS calls each year, and due to our geography, 30 to 45 minute transport times are not uncommon. Transportation of patients is provided by 21 BLS transport services (with a SCEMS Paramedic on-board if the patient meets ALS criteria), or by ALS helicopter service provided by the Delaware State Police stationed in Sussex County. In many cases, the SCEMS Paramedic will fly with the patient to the appropriate medical facility. ... [Read More]
