Rhode Island's Future is a Rhode Island blog dubbed the "state's most popular political blog" by the Phoenix Newspaper. The blog was started in March 2005by political activist , a long-time community and union organizer with SEIU and Jobs with Justice. Contributing to this was the first Green Party elected official in Rhode Island's history (who later became a Democrat), State Representative David Segal. Rhode Island's Future played a key role in the 2006 Senate race between Sheldon Whitehouse and Lincoln Chafee by exposing a scandal involving a Chafee staffer sending controversial emails from a government computer just one week before the election. Jerzyk, the blog's editor, also played a central role in a prominent controversy at Roger Williams University School of Law involving the chairman of the university's board of trustees use of the "N-word" and the subsequent removal of his name from the law school. Edited by Bob Plain, the site features as contributors: * Steve Ahlquist * Samuel G. Howard * Tom Sgouros * Andrew Stewart * Brian Hull * Samuel Bell * Dave Fisher * Frymaster * Peter Nightingale * Elisha Aldrich * Bruce Reilly * transportprovidence * Mark Binder * Russ Conway (en) |
