As I admitted this morning, I haven’t been entirely sure where TransformRI fits into a complementary strategy for the advancement of reform in Rhode Island. Looking at the group’s Web site, my impression is that, beyond reinforcing grassroots efforts, the group’s role should be to liaise between the Republican Party and the various groups that advisably remain independent.
Apart from collecting the Governor’s radio appearances the Web site summarizes some of the bigger issues in the state and directs visitors to opportunities for action.
The challenge will be to preserve the mutual support, even when the imperative of independence causes rifts on one matter or another.
