He panned Cicilline's post-snowstorm news conference performance.

He was critical of Cicilline having gone to the time for his brother.

Ian: Yes, you may be right. And I can't say I've read all of his stuff.

Exactly how has Charlie been critical of Cicilline?

Note: the comment to which Rhody referred was deleted for offensive content.

Joe, I think Bakst's writing about Cicilline has been more multi-faceted than you suggest.

Anne, I'm told that no other "big names" among the news staff beyond those I've already identified are leaving.

I can't say that I'm all that dissapointed Charlie Bakst is leaving. The column he did on Cicillines' brothers "going to jail" party wasn't all that good.

Is Peter Lord staying?

Also, what's the deal with this new R.I. Business Quarterly thing they're partnering with the Chamber of Commerce on?

To the best of my knowledge, he's not among those taking the buyout.
