CD1 was competative, but Cicillinne and Gordon Fox gerry mandered CD1 and took large parts of PVD into it to rig it for Cicilinne. Langivan was pissed at the time. 2011- https://www.golocalprov.com/news/cicil

>The latest redistricting map released Monday by the state’s redistricting commission would force more than 100,000 voters to shift congressional districts while moving Burrillville, North Smithfield and Smithfield out of the 1st District. Former Congressional candidate John Loughlin won those three towns by 2,976 votes in 2010 and North Smithfield and Smithfield were, by percentage, his largest victories in the district. > >The key for the former Providence Mayor would be the addition of South Providence, which would make more than 70 percent of the capital city part of the 1st District. Cicilline won Providence in 2010 with 69.2 percent of the 17,681 votes cast in the city.

I can and have sneezed at a half million dollar raise before. What usually happens is them rescinding the offer and a call down to security.

He announced he was leaving a year ago, and the search committee's been meeting for almost all that time. There's no way that Cicilline didn't know he was up for it during the fall campaign.

dont forget how he handled the Providence Economic Development Partnership loan program. I'm sure there is plenty to spread around at the RI Foundation, and I'm sure whoever gets funds will show their gratitude$$$ to him

Might as well get the FBI an office in the RI Foundation if Davey is going to run it.

I was hoping on some first- or second-hand experience in the matter.

I saw that article, and the editing is atrocious at WJAR - it makes the article unreadable at times. I wouldn’t trust anything they write.

"The dash board lights are most problematic.
A tire pressure light won't prevent the vehicle from failing inspection, but an ABS light or Airbag MIL would.
"It's just making it tougher for these people to get inspection stickers because of certain lights that are on in the car that aren't necessarily affecting anything in the car or emissions-related items," said Fine."

No.

Cicilline’s replacement will be another flaming liberal Democrat determined to spend until the economy crashes.

Do you pay for access to articles that will take you 30 seconds to read and never look at again?

If I'm gonna pay for news, it damn well better be something above and beyond what else is out there.

Also, remember where you are. If you're trying to share news and you link to it somewhere that makes people jump through hoops to actually read it, you're kinda the asshole.

Debating. Bitching is what comes from your stubby fingers while you type.

I always wondered why the police license plates are blue. Most other states are just normal plate colors, But with "Insert (City) Police Here" or something along those lines..

Oh my god.. These are so nostalgic.

Same that’s why I was so surprised it wasn’t on the new or anything. It literally looked like something out of a movie

I'm not the one bitching about having to pay for someone else's work.

And getting millions from the house GOP election fund. Fung is such a loser.

Raimondo received 53% of the vote so he was not a factor.

Good for him. I used to see him around Providence- mostly restaurants in the hill, where we would recognize one another.. but I never tried to take up his time. Just a hello, how are you? And have a nice day. I think I would appreciate that if I were him so… kept it normal.

I have to agree: for once we got most of the story included instead of a link -- which I appreciate!

Depends on the nature of work, intents, for who, and also on the definition of free, have you?

She just posted that she is running. As much as I'm dreading another election cycle I'm excited for her.

EDIT: *exploring a run

Tell the truth and get downvoted, gotta love it. Simple google will support your statement.

His wife owns property in CD1 Newport so don't rule him out yet. The guy loves to run terrible campaigns.

He’s a known liar, he literally lied about the city of providence’s finances numerous times on his way out the door. Not only did he lie, but an audit following his departure showed that he lied…. People pick and chooses what to remember and call him great. TOTAL JOKE…. all you need in this state is a D by your name and you’re good to go. Two party system sucks.

Yes, and that's the point. No Republican has any shot at winning CD1.

Those three are way too conservative for CD1. Two of the three represent my district which is unfortunate.
