Snow covers the state capital in 1985

Dover is the center of the Delaware universe this month. On Tuesday, January 7, Governor John Carney will complete his two terms in office to become mayor of Wilmington. After his resignation, Lt. Govt. Bethany Hall-Long will become the state’s 75th governor. Her tenure will not last long, however, as Matt Meyer, Hall-Long’s opponent in the Democratic primary, will be inaugurated as the 76th governor on Tuesday, January 27.
