Steve Laffey is Still Not Running for Governor in 2010

News Alert: Water is still wet.

Steve Laffey, in a brief statement in which announced that he is still not a candidate for Rhode Island governor in 2010, said the following:

“There has been quite a bit of speculation over the past several weeks as to whether I would enter the 2010 gubernatorial race in Rhode Island. This statement will put to rest any further speculation regarding my entry into the race… I am not a candidate for governor of Rhode Island and I have not changed my position.”

Laffey further stated: “To date I have not seen sufficient evidence to convince me that the majority of Rhode Islanders are in favor of the kind of fixes that I know Rhode Island needs to save it from financial collapse. Therefore, I am convinced that a campaign based on these ideas would not be successful.”

Along with his statement reaffirming his non-candidate status, Laffey released a detailed 19-page PowerPoint presentation entitled “How to fix Rhode Island’s economy.”
