Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice Leo E. Strine Jr. on Wednesday called on lawmakers to “think boldly” in allocating funds for the Judiciary’s biggest capital project, renewing calls to accelerate the construction of two new Family Court facilities in Kent and Sussex counties.

Strine in recent years has made the plea a staple of his annual request to members of the General Assembly’s Joint Finance Committee, the legislative panel panel tasked with writing the state’s appropriations bills.
