I believe that the job of a
member of New Castle County Council is to make county government
work for all of us.
For the last 12 years, I have been doing my best to ensure
that New Castle County improves the quality of life of
all of its citizens, particularly the residents of the
2nd
Council
District.
During my four terms on New Castle County Council
I have brought innovative and creative
solutions to the tough problems of our neighborhoods.
I
have fought
runaway development, worked to revitalize
the aging county infrastructure that we rely upon to meet our daily needs
and helped to create new recreational facilities.

"It's very simple," Weiner said when asked why he did not vote consistently on both ordinances. "County government did a good job cutting our budgetary needs and downsizing government. What we did not do a good job of is how to finance it."
Weiner said he has long advocated solutions such as privatizing some county functions or merging duplicated services with the state or cities.

New Castle County Councilman Bob Weiner cleans graffiti from a sample wooden fence with the Farrow System, which uses water and pulverized rock to remove paint without damage to the surface. A West Chester, Pa., company donated the $16,000 machine to the Citizens Anti-Graffiti Brigade, a volunteer group.
Businesses in need of graffiti removal or potential volunteers, please contact Bob for more information.
 The Farrow System was developed for cleaning racing yachts in England by Nigel Farrow, who moved to this country a few years ago to market it.

Anti-Graffiti Brigade "Graffiti Warriors" Go High-Tech
|
|
In his never ending fight to combat graffiti, New Castle County Councilman Bob Weiner has scheduled a demonstration for a new anti-graffiti “weapon” to help in the Citizens Anti-Graffiti Brigade fight against graffiti. The new weapon, the “Farrow System” may soon be added to the brigade arsenal to fight this battle. The Farrow System® is a revolutionary, environmentally safe, and cost effective surface cleaning method that quickly removes protective coatings, oxidation, and graffiti from surfaces without damaging them.
After seeing the “Graffiti Wars” story in a local newspaper, John Skross, Vice President, Farrow System USA, Inc. contacted the office of Councilman Weiner. He advised that his company manufactures a low pressure, environmentally friendly, chemical free, coating removal system, called the Farrow System (www.farrowsystem.com ) One of the applications is graffiti removal which will remove paint off of natural wood, trees, brick, stone without damage to the surface underneath.
Councilman Weiner has scheduled a formal presentation of the Farrow System to the Citizens Anti-Graffiti Brigades combined with a demonstration of this equipment for Saturday, March 28th at 2:00pm at the DelDOT Talley Yard Maintenance facility. The demonstration will counter attack the graffiti which is visible from Interstate 95 and which was featured in the News Journal 2/15/09 article by Terri Sanginiti.
