Is William Barbieri qualified for the long-unoccupied post of director of e-government information technology in the office of Secretary of State Ralph Mollis? According to Mollis's office, as told to the ProJo's Political Scene:
“Bill Barbieri’s professional background as a network administrator and a database systems manager is second to none. When our two top IT staffers left for the private sector, I turned to a man whose talent I have complete confidence in.”
Will the tapping of a pal -- who was accused of using his RIPTA computer to urge support for Mollis last year among fellow employees -- help Mollis to overcome negative publicity on stories involving his children? Probably not.
