It wasn't "talking heads" that pushed Fane out, it was the cost of construction labor/materials which made the whole plan economically unviable.

So 7 cartons per 1 inch of snow, equals x cartons per 12 inches, cross multiply and divide by 1 means 84 cartons of eggs to buy tonight. Did I do that right?

Nothing says luxury like a gym with a pool that is open until noon.

Facilities repairs are expensive. My YMCA looks like the paint job is from the 80s/90s....they had frozen pipes this winter. Every shower there works, but each has something a little wrong with it. One shower head is mounted too low for adults, another won't maintain water pressure, another stall had the metal shelf screw come out and is slanted, etc. And these are just the small things. There's a reason your average person doesn't have a heated indoor pool. They're $$$$$$$ to maintain, replace parts as needed and keep looking good.

The Y closes their pool in Cranston at the drop of a hat. Today for example it's closed to repair the pool deck. Then there's swim meets. Then there's family hour. So actually there's really only early AM blocks of pool time, sometimes afternoon too, but the pool there generally is off limits around 6pm while the rest of the YMCA is open until 9pm.
Edit: I forgot there is an 8:00-8:45pm swim block. Again, you'd have to go to your local YMCA and ask for the pool schedule, or maybe check their website for hours.

How much policy do you think a member of the House's minority caucus gets to influence?
It's fine to be disappointed. I am too. He seemed like an effective communicator and a big positive for the Democratic Party, such as it is, but if not up, then out.
Why sit for two more years out of power just to get blocked again when the new House convenes in 2024?

You have something in West Greenwich? We are only looking there or Exeter to stay in the same school district. Not much available around here though....

There's also property taxes to consider which drive up monthly/year costs.

You have a valid argument, but also the counter is that:
- He could do more for RI in DC than at the RI Foundation.
- The last RI Foundation leaders salary paid about 5x more than what Cicilline gets paid in congress.
We will probably never know the actual truth on this, but I've generally always believed that anyone who seeks power and money will do more to achieve those ends than simple altruism.
I have a strong distrust for authority in general so that does color my argument (and disbelief that Cicilline is doing this for noble purposes).

He has not "cherry picked" a successor though, he's left the seat open in what's now looking like a very chaotic primary. A no, running a non-profit that largely gives out scholarships does not have the same impact as serving in congress where he can enact real policy. I'm sure he'll get to keep having fancy dinners with important people, but he will not have his hands on the levers of power like before. I for one and pretty disappointed in his decision.
