Where in Rhode Island…
I’ve arrived very early for a taping of WRNI’s Political Roundtable with Ian Donnis and Scott MacKay that will air tomorrow at 5:40 a.m. and 7:40 a.m. on 102.7FM and 1290AM (and then appear online). On the way into Providence, I drove past Lincoln Chafee walking toward the office building next to Hemenway’s. The ACLU’s…

Make some revenue!” Customer:”They have to get it somehow.” Attendant:”Yup, they do. Wait ’til the road gets repaved. People will be going 90 mph down the road. They’ll be stopping them then. They get…
