LIVE BLOG: Rhode Island State Senate, House Forum

Patch will be live at Narragansett Town Hall to provide coverage of tonight's Q&A and candidates forum.

Hi folks! Tonight, we're going to be using the Cover It Live applet for the chat, since it's generally easier to follow along and what not. Please excuse any typos I have in advance though, since it's much tougher to edit with Cover It Live vs. using our usual story template.

Stamm Not Running for Re-Election

Republican Charles Stamm will not seek re-election in November.

The North Kingstown Town Council will have at least one new member in November as Republican Charles Stamm will not be seeking re-election. Stamm's decision to part ways with public office in North Kingstown was a geographical one. During the winter months, Stamm and his wife have been living at their home in Florida. To attend the council's biweekly meetings, Stamm flew up to Rhode Island every two weeks. "That really did become a burden financially and physically," said Stamm. "It was just not consistent with serving on the council at 110 percent." Stamm was first elected to the council in 2008, along with four other brand new council members – Carol Hueston, Elizabeth Dolan, Michael Bestwick and Steve DeToy. According to Stamm, the …

It is interesting to have the R's blame the D's for everything that is wrong with R I. History in R I is that many ballots have the D's running without an opponent, or one that it not qualified, or lacks support by the R's. The D's can't do that, that is lack of the R's coming to the table. Look at the list of R's being run for office this year, 75 seats in the house and 14 candidates! Well I …   more ›
