Reply to comment by bluehat9 in David Cicilline to resign from Congress to lead Rhode Island Foundation by rhodyjourno

Yeah, it looks like Steinberg just announced his resignation at RIF, opening up the job.

He announced he was leaving a year ago, and the search committee's been meeting for almost all that time. There's no way that Cicilline didn't know he was up for it during the fall campaign.

Oh! I hadn't heard, and I am in a couple of non-profits, and kind of keep an ear open for this stuff.

Dang, then I have to agree that Cicilline must have known the opening was coming. It adds to the credibility of the suggestion that he's miffed over being squeezed out of the Dem leadership in the new house.
