K. Joseph Shekarchi
The Chairman of the House Labor Committee and close ally to Governor Gina Raimondo is sitting on roughly $534,000 in campaign cash, unopposed in his reelection bid, and is currently the favorite to become the next House Majority Leader.
Should House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello fall in his reelection bid against Republican National Committee Chairman Steve Frias, he would automatically become the likely favorite to become House Speaker.

City Treasurer James J Lombardi III
The City has begun a new e-payables program from Citizens Bank that allows the City to streamline its payment process and collect a small percentage of shared revenuethat will generate roughly $250,000 in new revenue the current fiscal year, and significantly more in future years. When vendors move over to the electronic system, which most will want to do since it is a lot faster than being paid by paper checks, everyone saves money, which makes it a beneficial program for all involved. The treasurer deserves credit for implementing the new program.

Peter F. Neronha
The sanctity of American democracy is contingent on the integrity of voting in our elections. That’s why it was encouraging to see Neronha announce on Monday that Assistant United States Attorney Terrence P. Donnelly will lead the efforts of his office, in conjunction with the Justice Department, to prosecute any instances of voter fraud. That should, in all likelihood, serve as a deterrent to folks who wish to undermine our democratic process.

So let’s get the situation straight on this $40 million bond issue from the Mayor’s perspective. When the city council, a separate and coequal branch of government, let’s keep in mind, seeks to control how a portion of the money is spent, it’s a “slush fund”. But when the administration controls the money in its entirety, it’s good government. Sorry, but that doesn’t make sense. The council is correct: the Mayor should apologize for that statement.

Elizabeth Roberts
The former Lieutenant Governor was quite underwhelming at the House Oversight Committee that sought to discern why the state moved ahead with a new computer benefits system despite the fact that the federal government warned the Rhode Island Department of Human Services that the program would like cause problems, which it did in spades. One would have expected Roberts to show more poise and have better answers at the hearing.
