Author of Secrets and Scandals: Reforming RI 1986-2006
Here are some reviews of Secrets and Scandals:
A frank and fascinating tale of cronyism and corruption in Rhode Island over the past three decades. It often reads like a novel, but it is not fiction; it’s a true story.
- Gordon S. Wood, Professor of History Emeritus at Brown University and recipient of the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for History
This is an inspiring story of confronting corruption and secrecy, and reforming the biggest little state in the Union. Political reform is possible when tough and
pragmatic people get fed up and say enough is enough!
- Darrell West, Vice President and Director of Governance Studies,The Brookings Institution, Washington DC
This is great stuff. No other Rhode Island history book contains more detail on its topic. It is a tract for the times.
- Patrick T. Conley, Rhode Island Historian Laureate
