PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Stephen P. Laffey may be around for a while.

The outspoken former Cranston mayor has formally moved out of his parents' house and into a two-family house little more than a stone's throw from the Narragansett coast.

Town officials confirmed with Political Scene last week that Laffey formally registered as a Narragansett voter Monday, Oct. 26. He listed his address as 18 Mathewson St., which is a block from the Coast Guard House restaurant.

And in case anyone's wondering, he's still registered as a Republican.
Laffey didn't return our call for comment.

He told Political Scene over the summer that he would not run for governor, but speculation continues to swirl about his political aspirations.

He has $97,936 sitting in his campaign fund, but is not actively raising money, according to his most recent filing with the Board of Elections.
