Gets a free pass....
If elected Senator The guy will not vote to control spending:
As county Exec---
THREE major tax increases and multiple fines levied against homeowners.
2006 - 5% property tax increase. (instead of cutting spending)
2007 - 17.5% property tax increase. (also instead of cutting spending)
2009 - 25% property tax increase!
And how about some Campaign Finance Juice:

Some other tidbits:
1. As New Castle County Executive, Chris Coons raised taxes on the very voters that he will need to support him; Sussex is sure to go to O’Donnell on November 2, and Kent might do the same, but how much support can he expect from people who have criticized him in the past for unnecessarily raising taxes?
2. In May 2010, Politico reported that Coons described himself as a “bearded Marxist” in the 80s, and even went so far as to question the basic principles of “free enterprise,” in an article he wrote for a college newspaper. This story alone should be enough to turn any voter with an ounce of sanity against the Democrat. Delaware is a state full of businesses, and people who work for them, and the last person we need representing us in Washington is a self-described Marxist who has rejected capitalism and freedom itself.
3. Coons supports President Obama’s scheme for yet another economic “stimulus,” which would pay off special interests and hurt small businesses, as was the case with the first stimulus. This irresponsible economic strategy simply does not work. Do Delaware voters, even Democrats, really want to waste hundreds of billions of tax dollars on a plan that is obviously going to fail?
4. Simply being a card-carrying member of the Party of “O” will hurt Coons. A photo of him with a smiling President Obama is circulating the blogosphere, as Obamas’s popularity continues to plummet, even among registered Democrats. Will Delawareans choose to send Obama another willing puppet to vote for socialistic legislation?
