Two way race for RIGOP Gov candidate. At least for now…

I guess Scott Brown is not a joke after all.
Moe Green 116
Scott Slater 661
Wilbur Jennings 232
Includes mail ballots
Clearly not the result we hoped for. Moe ran a great campaign in a challenging district
Will, the driving force behind this blog was recently re-elected to his post of Northeast Vice President of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. This is the parent of the RI Republican Assembly.
We finally settled our Town Council election for 2008. Now it’s time to build up for 2010.

Scheduled for the week before the full General Assembly returns for the first time since June, the House Labor Committee hearing has been scheduled for 2 p.m. in Room 313 of the State House.
The focus of the hearing will be a bill, introduced by Rep. Alfred A. Gemma, D-Warwick, on January 22.
Among the key provisions: “If no agreement is reached by midnight of the expiration of the existing contract … the parties shall submit a list of their respective unresolved issues to the mediator. If an agreement is not reached prior to the opening of school, teachers shall continue to work under the terms of the existing contract and…the parties shall then proceed to arbitration …
“The arbitration panel shall resolve separately each individual disputed issue by accepting the last best offer thereon of either of the parties…The decision shall be rendered within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the arbitration hearings.”
The House’s Democratic leaders have not said they are committed to passing a binding arbitration bill before the year is out. But given the strong push for the legislation by the teacher unions, they have evidently agreed to use the Gemma bill as a vehicle for a public discussion of the pros and cons.
I guess the revolution in East Providence was too successful for the NEA / AFT. They have cried havoc and relased the legislators of war.
Candidates Declarations Due: Oct. 15 or Oct. 16
50 Signatures Due: Oct. 27
Primary (if necessary): Nov. 24 (2 days before Thanksgiving!!!)
Election: Dec. 29 (right between Christmas and New Year)
I could not design a worse schedule for voter turnout.
If Liberals Thought of the 2nd Amendment Like Other “Rights”
There is a fundamental right being denied 55% of all Americans. This denial costs over 16,000 lives per year, meaning more than 44 of our fellow Americans will die every day that we delay. What should be done in light of these shocking figures?
