Renewals should be filed the beginning of the year as they are usually processed first, followed by new application. There are so many renewals due to the large increase of permits in recent years. That in itself causes a bigger back up on new permits. Since the State of Delaware is hiring no more people to process the permit application, I see no other alternative that just sit it out and weight. Since Delaware is a Majority Liberal Progressive Democrat state, it's not likely they are going to do anything to remedy this situation. They are protective of their own little dynasty and are not worrying about you and I.
