This incident, highlighted by John DePetro, is a few weeks old, at this point, but it’s worth noting nonetheless.  Democrat Governor Dan McKee and Democrat East Providence Mayor Bob DaSilva were supposed to meet with businesses affected by the Washington Bridge closure.  DaSilva has been adamant that people should not avoid his city out of fear of traffic.  Yet, a last-minute rescheduling away from East Providence to Providence wasn’t well communicated, and many people missed the event.

That is, McKee seems not to have wanted to cross the bridge.  It’d be funny if it weren’t so sad.
