Navatek had a partnership with URI, receiving nearly $4 million in 2020 while partnered with the URI, which is entirely consistent with the alleged scheme.

A kind & affable man. Met him a few times where I worked and he ate free, but not often.
He'd remember me in other settings & provide good company, which was always odd because he was a DJ to part of the soundtrack to my childhood.
Seems an appropriate time to refresh my Complex World memory.

So sorry to hear of the death of Rudy Cheeks, Jorge of the infamous Phillipe & Jorge’s Cool, Cool World, a mainstay of the Prov Phoenix. He was a gentle soul, hilarious and an OG of the PVD underground. He’s reunited with Chip Young, Phillipe, to drink Pernod & grapefruit

"What is the Democratic Party if not its voters?"
Neither party is its voting base.
The greatest trick the devil has played is convincing people they're party members when their participation is limited to showing up & casting a ballot for a letter every two years.

Jeff Dana is bad at his job.

Such a valuable resource people only just noticed?
Is that because it was underwhelming at best & really ONLY useful for salary info as most other items were years expired & lacking context to make them useful?
Practically a malicious compliance tool. But Providence's is definitely less useful

Mea culpa: According to @tednesi.bsky.social's weekly, Foulkes will essentially spend the same as Kalus.
Granted, after spending ~$5 per Rhode Islander, Foulkes's campaign delivered results.
Kalus's underperformed all but 1 [R] general officer, & didn't even get a federal appointment out of it.

How much less than Kalus will Foulkes end up spending to be the next governor?
Do I have a call correctly that Guckian outperformed Kalus in that election?
I wonder how much setting that $5.0 million on fire contributed to inflation...

California has 10% of all Congressional seats compared to Rhode Island's < 1% of seats.
Having 25x the amount of House seats is apparently irrelevant to representation.
Maybe its Senators are lousy? Maybe that's why it's always complaining about the Senate? But that sounds like a Cali problem.

No offense to Rhode Island, but it is wild that my state has 40 million people and sets international standards in climate policy and also has the same number of votes in the senate as Rhode Island, where the governor just lost a primary over a particular bridge closure causing traffic problems.
