DOVER, Del. - Delaware state senate appears poised to approve a package of gun reform measures amid heavy opposition from national gun rights groups.

Meanwhile, Mitch Denham, the president of Delaware Gun Rights, called the effort, "disingenuous. He added, "more kids die in school bus accidents than get shot in schools, but they’re not putting seat belts in school busses."The bills are expected to pass and Governor John Carney is likely to sign them.

Rough waters ahead for cruise industry as it grapples with staffing slump amid travel heating up

record travel season is expected this summer.Colleen McDaniel, Editor-in-Chief of Cruise Critic told FOX Business’ Ashley Webster that the supply chain issues have caused delays for many cruise lines that were set to unveil new ships to the public."We've seen a number of cruise ships being delayed for their debuts because of that," McDaniel said.But, as McDaniel noted, supply chain issues aren't the only ones plaguing the industry this summer: Ongoing staffing shortages have assisted in stunting the industry’s post-pandemic rebound, forcing the world’s most notable cruise companies to find new ways to accommodate passengers.DOMESTIC FLIGHT PRICES INCREASED 47% SINCE JANUARYIn a statement to FOX Business, Norwegian Cruise Lines told the network that "due to the tight labor market, we have not been able to fully staff pride of America. Therefore, in order to maintain the highest possible onboard guest experience, we are operating at a lower guest capacity."Flexibility has been key to navigating the travel industry and in order to ensure the best experience for their customers, cruise liners are being forced to limit the occupancy on their ships. But as staffing woes pose as a major concern across multiple businesses, the cruise industry has a unique case as most cruise ships employ people from overseas.During the onset of the pandemic, employees traveled back to their native countries as travel advisories took effect to curb the pandemic.Now as travel restrictions have eased, many of those employed by cruise lines in the U.S.

Border union claims government stats about ArriveCAN app ‘absolutely false’

Drop ArriveCan app travel rules, border city mayors urge Ottawa Webber also said the ArriveCAN app has contributed to decreased security at the border because officers are forced to help travellers with the app rather than focus on their law enforcement responsibilities.“What I can tell you is that the numbers that were provided to you by the CBSA – where it said that 99 per cent of air travellers and 94 per cent of land travellers have the app completed – is absolutely false,” Webber said.“As far as border officers are concerned, the last few months have shown that ArriveCAN neither facilitates cross-border travel, nor does it improve operational efficiency.
