   Council President Paul Clark said the budget proposal received the unanimous blessing of council because it was vetted over several months by members.He acknowledged that raising taxes would have been difficult in an election year, but said it was not the foremost reason for holding the line.
   
   "The reason it went so smoothly is because of the hours we've put in during the budget hearings as well as throughout the year when we look at financial issues," he said.

   two dozen developers and land use attorneys. New Castle County President Paul Clark faced a storm of criticism Tuesday after an e-mail proposing changes to the county's development code was sent by Clark to two dozen developers and land use attorneys.
   ...
   In the e-mail, sent June 11, Clark refers to the county's land use process as "slow, inconsistent and repressive," asks for feedback on some specific proposals and expresses frustration that the changes have been slow to come about.
   
   "I believe it is time to stop waiting for others to make changes to the Unified Development Code and stop complaining about its impact upon development, and begin to take the necessary steps to make these Code changes," he wrote.
   ...
   Since his campaign for council president in 2004, Clark has faced questions about whether his wife's job as a development attorney represented a conflict of interest.In 2005, he was chided by the county's Ethics Commission for voting in favor of a rezoning for an Ogletown church that was being represented by his wife.Clark did recuse himself from the vote on the land use plan itself, however.
   
   Clark, who is up for re-election this fall, has admitted that the inclusion of the Saul Ewing signature was simply an oversight stemming from the fact that he and Scott share a computer at home, but on Tuesday, he defended the contents of the e-mail and his ties to the development community.
   
   "I don't just have the luxury of representing just the homeowner," he said."I also have to represent the home builder and the prospective home buyer who may want to come to the county."
   
   He said the people he included in the e-mail were those who have approached him over the last two years about concerns with the county's land use process.He said the ideas discussed in the e-mail - such as allowing rezonings throughout the year instead of during three designated periods and eliminating transit requirements in specific zoning classifications - are things he's discussed publicly for years.
   
   Clark left the meeting immediately following his remarks.
   
   Councilman Jea Street (D-Wilmington South) said he did not accept Clark's explanation.
   
   "I'm astounded that speech was just made as if there's nothing wrong and nobody is expected to stand up and do anything about it," he said.
