"Admin" is just editors Vern Nelson, Greg Diamond, or Ryan Cantor sharing something that they mostly didn't write themselves, but think you should see. Before December 2010, "Admin" may have been former blog owner Art Pedroza.
I don’t live in Newport and don’t know Barbara Venezia, but my friends there were enthusiastic about her candidacy. I think it’s sad she was pushed out of the race. Even at the city council level, politics have become so nasty that many good people won’t even consider running.
Ms. Venezia’s greatest “sin,” it appears, is that she’s another Republican who won’t kowtow to the local Party elite.
Good luck to you, Ms. Venezia, in whatever you do in the future. I hope you’ll continue to involve yourself in civic affairs.

Barabara is a class act, a beautiful woman, and intellegent. It’s a shame she is not running.
