Naturally, being agog for the last week about who did and did not made the ballot, I clicked on an article in today’s ProJo which looked like it might answer the question. Immediately, however, the headline They’re off! Candidates for offices across R.I. file paperwork posed more questions than answers. Candidates had “filed papers” –…
The RIGOP is not wrong to raise this matter. (Press release.) The Rhode Island Republican Party today called on General Treasurer Frank Caprio to account for the value of his time and energy spent campaigning rather than doing the job he was elected to do. Citing a steady stream of campaign events this week, the…
Confirming what a teacher had told me last week, Katherine Gregg reports yesterday on projo.com that the Rhode Island Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals has endorsed former Senator Linc Chafee (I) for governor. Right around the same time, Ian Donnis breaks the news that NEARI Exec Dir Bob Walsh, in what is probably a…
Interesting mixture of Dems, Repubs and Independents; incumbents and challengers. House Lisa Baldelli-Hunt (D, Woonsocket) – Incumbent facing a primary Jon D. Brien (D, Woonsocket) – Incumbent facing a primary Douglas W.

Unlike last month in South Africa (ahem, unless the substance and the attendant culpability were quickly and conveniently shifted away from the dilettante … er, debutante as the South African gendarmerie approached), however, this incident turned…
WPRO’s Steve Klamkin report during the 6:30 am news that the AG will be withdrawing from the governor’s race sent me to projo.com which had a confirming article by Katherine Gregg and Tracy Breton on the front page. On Wednesday, a source close to Lynch said, the two-term attorney general was telling people close to…
Well, at least that would be sort of related to space, unlike the goals themselves, which have apparently been … withdrawn. [NASA Administrator Charles] Bolden caused a global stir last week when he said President Obama had asked him to reach out to Muslim leaders on science issues. He made the comments during an interview…
My main focus with regard to illegal immigration has been its implications to US sovereignty and, with the recent rise in kidnappings and violence along the border, the personal safety of those who reside there. It is not unreasonable, however, to also examine the more pragmatic impact that it has on Rhode Island wallets and…
