 And former Delaware State Senator Dori Conner has died at age 77. She served in the General Assembly until 2012, representing the 12th District in the Newcastle area. Governor Carney says Conner and her late husband Bob were both respected educators as well as lawmakers, and that Dori was a champion of people with disabilities as well as for victims of crime. Carney has directed Delaware State flags to be lowered to half-staff at all state facilities on Saturday in tribute to Dori Conner.
