On Permitting, Delaware's Democratic Governor Gets Praise from Conservative Analyst
Governor is trying to reduce state's permitting backlog.
WASHINGTON, April 21, 2026 — A conservative analyst is praising Delaware’s Democratic governor for backing permitting reform.
Satya Marar, a Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, supported Delaware’s Democratic Gov. Matt Meyer’s new executive order speeding up broadband permits in an April 16 blog post for the Daily Economy.
Marar argued that reducing unnecessary regulation was essential to closing the digital divide and supporting data‑intensive technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles and telemedicine.
