RI Speaker Resignation?
 

None of you Rhode Islanders is curious why there is a Federal Investigation forcing the Speaker to resign??? I would think as voters and taxpayers we ie you have a right to know what the investigation is regarding???

sure people are curious but the FBI isn't going to tell anyone until they are good and ready.

There should be stiffer sentences for politicians who use their office for personnal gain.

My point is...it should be known to the public what is going on! We are taxpayers.....they work for us!!! WTF???!!! This government is spinning out of control!!!

Its my hunch that this is related to 38 studios. time will tell......

Good theory?

Spencetradomous... oh great oracle of the east bay... what is your prediction???

Scott.. oh dweller of the edge cellar... what is your call??

I am just amazed if its sexual misconduct or domestic violence or drunken driving issues....we know all the details so whats with this? Just because its Federal? I still think we deserve an explanation! We pay the bills to these fools! They work for us!

:rotflmao:

I think this is big. Hence the hush hush.

My suspicion as well.

Spence is involved.

If it was any of those things, he'd have been arrested and we'd all know. It's something much bigger that. They've taken a lot of evidence from his home and his office. The Feds are getting their ducks in a row for something big.

Massachusetts has its own long history of Speakers and House leaders being indicted.....

Or could it have something to do with the bully that he is? Can't get his way in a difficult race with a noisy candidate? No problem, we'll just rearrange the voting districts so that the outcome should be more favorable.

True .
Curious if he has a D after his name like our esteemed public servants in Ma , some still doing time, do .

Ding dong, the witch is dead :rotf2:

He was 2nd in command of the Kelptocarcy - #1 is in Washington. Do not be suprised to see more pins fall. But keep electing these progressives to positions of power in a one party state :rotf2::rotf2:

OK - 2 parties, the Democrats and the Progressives! They can't blame this state on the Independents or Republicans

Sure they can.. they can blame all of the republican business owners for leaving the state with their business and tax revenue because the states tax structure is not business friendly ;)

:love:

yup, and now his 2nd in command is going to take his place...depressing....I was talking to a guy this morning who was just moving into the area to retire and was a little concerned about our state of corruption....he'd mentioned this story and said that he'd been curious so he'd Googled our Reps and Senators...all career politicians ...Governor...career politician..he noted that outside of Reid's military time he couldn't cite where any of them had any...well...any experience outside of being political hacks .....we seem to grow career hack politicians hatched from lawyers and enjoy the corruption that follows in our unique climate better than we do most other things...I'm just shocked that he's out so quickly..it must be REALLY bad, otherwise we'd have the press conference denying any wrong doing and stating he needs to get back to doing the work of the RI people

it's embarrassing that we continuously elect the most corrupt gov't in the country...over and over and over. methinks gordo got caught with his hand in the cookie jar - big time.

The ironic thing is that Fox had been moving though pension reform and even got money from the NRA. I'm not sure I understand the witch comments above.

I read on the Blaze that he was actually considered a more conservative Democrat. Then I read the comments under the story and it was pretty repulsive. Amazing the bottom feeders that a site like that attracts.
