As has been reported (I saw it tweeted first by Ian Donnis), governor-elect Chafee has tabbed erstwhile liberal Democrat political insider–lobbyist, Chairman of the Board of NARAL—Richard Licht (h/t Ted Nesi for the link to Licht’s bio) to head up the Department of Administration.

Ed Fitzpatrick devoted a column, the other day, to the profusion of gubernatorial debates, this election cycle: Of course, the candidates didn’t participate in all these events simply out of the goodness of their hearts.
