B8 THE NEWS JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15, 1992 .5 Committee urges 2 more Superior Court judges action' needed -ML 1 3 The News JournalGARY EMEIGH David H. Ennls In Legislative Hall. A A Senators introduce 11 bills during 1st day back at work Proposals include reducing length of school board terms By NANCY KESLER Dover Bureau chief DOVER While the normally prolific bill writers in the: House had no legislation to introduce the first day pf the session Tuesday, Senators filled the gap nicely. Eleven bills were introduced in the Senate, including a proposal to cut school board terms and another to give the Bridge House property, site of a former state juvenile detention facility, to the city of Wilmington.

S.B. 241, sponsored by Sen. John C. Still, R-Dover North, would reduce terms for seats on regular school district boards from five to three years and on vocational-technical district boards from seven to five years. Current members' terms wouldn't be affected.

Still said the long terms "don't encourage board members to be accountable to the public and I have evidence of that in my own district (Capital)." Past efforts by other lawmakers to alter board terms have been unsuccessful. S.B. 234, sponsored by Sen. Robert I. Marshall, D-Wil-mington West, proposed giving the Bridge House property to the city so the building can be torn down and the land converted to green space in the Browntown residential area.

Bridge House has remained unused since it was closed in 1989 because of poor conditions. Although the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families has several ideas for using the property, the state doesn't have the money to follow through on any of them. Marshall said the Browntown area has been fully developed and needs the green space. Rep. Orlando J.

Cook, D-Kenton, co-chairman of the Joint Finance Committee, the package was a starting point discussions on the economy. "Obviously, the entire General Assembly interested in doing what we can to up the economy and generate jobs," Report says 'rapid By TED CADDELL Staff reporter WILMINGTON A planning committee has recommended that two more judges be appointed to the state Superior Court, as well as two administrative masters to handle matters other than trials.

"Rapid action" is needed to ensure the judicial system "is not completely overwhelmed," the report stated. The 11-member commission, composed of attorneys, academicians and business people appointed by Supreme Court Justice Joseph T. Walsh, submitted its report to the state Supreme Court at the end of December, after a four-month look at the court system. "It was the conclusion of the Committee that it is not premature for a specific recommendation of additional judicial resources to be made so the needs of the Superior Court may be met," the report stated. The two new judges should be assigned to New Castle County, where the caseload is heaviest, the report said.

The committee urged immediate action on the part of the General Assembly to authorize expansion of the court, saying time lag getting the authorization and the ensuing nomination and confirmation process make it unlikely that the new judges would be seated before late 1992. There currently are 15 Superior Court judges, two having been added in 1988. Since 1988, according to the report, criminal cases entering the court system have increased 61 percent, and the number of civil cases increased 27 percent. The report also notes that despite the increase in cases disposed by judges, there were still more than 10,000 cases pending in Superior Court by the end of fiscal year 1991, more than double the number of cases pending at the end of fiscal 1981. Using past caseload figures, the report projected that combined filings in Superior Court by 1996 will be double what they were in 1988, the last time the bench was expanded 9,340 in 1988, 19,231 projected for 1996.

"This Committee recognizes the danger of superficially accepting statistics on caseload increases as a justification in itself for requesting additional judicial man "It's Ronald Q.

The report does not call for more courtrooms, however, noting that in some instances courtrooms can be borrowed from the Court of Common, Pleas for various hearings and meetings.

David B. McBride, D-Wilton, closed out a six-year, $15,000 campaign debt this month from his unsuccessful 1984 bid for lieutenant governor. McBride lost in a three-way Democratic primary. His 1984 campaign finance report for People for McBride says he spent $38,793, including a $15,000 loan from Mary McBride, his wife at the time. The senator's 1991 report, filed earlier this month, lists the loan as from McBride himself a debt he has forgiven because he doesn't plan to try to raise money to recoup 'the loss.

But Tuesday he said the loan was actually from his former wife and himself. its appraised value. To Banking. S.B. 239 (Cordrey) To require lenders to accept binders as proof of insurance for purposes of loan settlements involving mortgages on real property.

Spence and Roy are considered cash cows in this case bulls for other candidates. Although most House campaigns don't cost as much as Senate campaigns, Rep. Vince Lofink, R-Bear, may have hit a new financial low in starting the campaign season. He had $36 in the bank. He has been busy paying off $4,217 in bills from his 1990 election and is still $1,000 in the hole.

The only other candidate for the seat so far is Democrat Michael A. Begatto, who already has banked nearly $600. Campaign financial reports filed for 1991 are covered by a new campaign finance law that for the first time imposes a penalty for late filing. The penalty for willful tardiness is $50 a month or a fraction of that, depending on how many days the report is late. The deadline this year was 4:30 p.m., Jan.

Colleicaed $862, By NANCY KESLER Dover Bureau chief DOVER For the first time in 10 years all 62 members of the General Assembly will be on the election ballot, and most have already tucked away some cash. Normally, the full House and only half the Senate stands for election every two years, but reapportionment has put everyone on the block. Half of the Senate seats will be for. two-year terms and the other for four years, to restart the staggered election-year system. Senate districts with two-year terms will be the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 21st.

The 1991 candidate committee financial reports recently filed with the state commissioner of elections show Senate President Pro Tempore Richard S. Cordrey of Millsboro and Senate Majority Leader Thomas P. Sharp of Pine-crest leading the fund-raising pack with $32,987 and $28,695, respectively. Neither senator has been seriously challenged at the polls for years. As Democratic caucus however, they are expected to spread money around to more needy party candidates.

Although Sharp raised the most 'money in 1991 $15,925 newcomer Sen. David P. Sokola, D-North Star, wasn't far behind with $15,111. Among Senate incumbents, only Senate Whip Harris B. McDowell III, D-Wilmington North, had less than $1,000 in campaign money at the end of 1991.

McDowell, who was down to $181, is considering a bid for the U.S. House. In the House, where all seats will be on the 1992 ballot, the campaign chest with the biggest bulge belongs to Rep. Robert F. Gilligan, D-Sherwood Park, who is counting $25,933 and change.

Gilligan, House Minority Whip, is also one of those caucus leaders expected to help other campaigns. He had such a nest egg that he didn't bother to raise any money last year. Rep. William I. Houghton, D-Swanwyck Garden, reapportioned into the same House district as Rep.

John A. Campanelli, D-Cle-land Heights, is gearing for a potential primary fight with a war-chest of $18,987, compared to Campanelli's $3,680. Campanelli sent back all the contributions he received in 1991, fueling speculation he is going to retire. "I havsjVt really decided," he said. The biggest 1991 fund-raisers in Teamsters Local 326.
