  At least I haven't read anything about Costantino being in the equation for this "leadership" change. Costantino has carried the cross of the Governor and leadership for 6 years in his attempt to compassionately look beyond numbers and see real people in the budget and as a result he has done a damm good job with the little revenue he has to work with and all sorts of pressure from leadership. He is not afraid to make a tough decision and I am not suprised he is not accepting anything to do with the 2nd position yes man Majority Leader, that he could have easily had.He is his own man. He will seperate from all this and go on to his own campaign for GT.

  Good-bye and good riddence...and please take that lap-dog, Fox, with you. None of you (and in this statement I include Costantino, Paiva-Weed and the other GA leadership) possess even an ounce of leadership skills. You all have failed the people of the state of Rhode Island and are a disgrace.

  Is there anyone in the Democrat Caucus at the General Assembly that will challenge Gordon Fox? If he becomes majority leader, nothing will change and Rhode Island will continue to go down hill. Is there a single Democrat that will stand up the the Unions and side with the taxpayers for a change? If not, then they'll suffer the wrath of the voters next November.

  This will be another Rhode Island first. We'll actually be allowing a REAL FOX into the state's HENHOUSE.Just wait and see how many more PROGRESSIVE EGGS will be laid if he takes over the most powerful position in our State.

  Sorta like the Fidel Castro ceding his power to his brother, no one expects any great change, in anything.

  Dear God... Please look down on RI and bless us in our hour of need. We have friends and neighbors who insist on the destruction of our beautiful RI by electing the same crooks and criminals year after year after year after year. We tried so hard, oh Lord, to help them see the light, but alas, they do not listen. Now, we are inserting the final nail in our coffin..... Please Lord, show mercy on us as we enter the after life..... Thank You

  The last thing this state needs is a liberal Democrat to take over in probably the most important political seat in our General Assembly. Fox will lead us down the primrose path. Our state will have its ideals firmly planted in the clouds.

  The best thing that could happen to this state politically is to throw out of office practically every elected state official. And don't forget to include the Weed.

  Give us a break!!! "Response to Aldo regarding Rep. Patrick O'Neill: You should be aware that as an Assistant Town Solicitor, which is what Patrick O'Neill is for the Town of West Warwick, he does not make the decisions as to who gets charged and who does not. His job is to prosecute misdemeanors once the West Warwick Police Department files a criminal complaint. Assistant town solicitors are not members of the police department and do not have authority to make charging decisions. So your statement that "he refused to bring charges against several WW residents because of the embarrassment it would bring to former Sen Alves is clearly wrong." Wrong! The WWPD prepared an air tight case against the people in question. As Municipal Prosecutor not Asst Town Solicitor, O'Neill declined to prosecute the case. Much to the dismay of the WWPD. Politics at its worst! If you do some research, you will find that he openly disparaged the WWPD in his remarks to the Press concerning the case! Couldn't upset Alves or Murphy, could he? "You are also out of line to call him "one of Murphy's Muppets"." Really, he was appointed Municipal Prosecutor in WW because of Murphy's PERSONAL intervention on his behalf. He was hand picked by Murphy who personally and openly campaigned and supported him along with the other WW "Deputy Majority Whip" Rep Williamson. O'Neill and his ilk are the cause of the problems in this state! Heaven help us if this man is elected Attorney General. He will make Lynch look like Elliot Ness!

  HAVE YOU LOOKED AT WHAT A MESS WEST WARWICK IS?? This place is awful---it has one of the state's worst school systems, constant budget nightmares, etc. A disaster and an embarrassment to the world. Murphy, Williams, Alves, and company created and supported this mess. They only care about themselves---and btw the people in this town are dopes, too. Why didn't they complain? Are they on drugs there? The citizens of WW should wake up and get rid of ALL the Democrats in their town---they totally suck!

  Response to Aldo regarding Rep. Patrick O'Niell: Don't any of you people have anything good to say about anyone. You should be aware that as an Assistant Town Solicitor, which is what Patrick O'Niell is for the Town of West Warwick, he does not make the decisions as to who gets charged and who does not. His job is to prosecute misdemeanors once the West Warwick Police Department files a criminal complaint. Assistant town solicitors are not members of the police department and do not have authority to make charging decisions. So your statement that "he refused to bring charges against several WW residents because of the embarrassment it would bring to former Sen Alves" is clearly wrong. You are also out of line to call him "one of Murphy's Muppets". I'll bet you never even met the man and know nothing about his voting record in the General Assembly. He's a former State Prosecutor and an honest and respected attorney, who when had the guts to to take on and defeat former Speaker of the House John Harwood. It's easy to take cheap shots at someone in an anonymous posting.
