EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - It has been a busy week in politics. This week on Newsmakers, Eyewitness News Political Analyst Joe Fleming joins our panel (WRNI’s Ian Donnis and Eyewitness News Analyst Arlene Violet) in a wide-ranging discussion.
Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd is calling it quits. As Chairman of the powerful Senate Banking Committee, could this mean Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed could step in as Chair?
The in-fighting among Rhode Island Republicans has dominated the state’s political scene this week – can the GOP pull it together for a unified 2010?
And Lincoln Chafee announces his run for governor, unveiling a plan to increase revenue through tweaked sales tax adjustments. Will it work? Just a few of the topics on this week’s Newsmakers.
