In case I have said it enough, Annapolis and Newport, RI are so much alike in so many ways, we really should be sister-cities--real sister cities. (Not like the ceremonial ones we get so the mayor can have an excuse for travel). Oh yeah--Newport has a city council-city manager form of government. We don't. We need it. I've posted about this before. Now, please read this recent news article about major changes underway in its public housing. You might find it encouraging. The comments from readers following the article are...well... so familiar.

And there is this piece as well:
Newport workers might have to pay more for health care
Police officers, firefighters, teachers and other municipal employees in the state would have to pay at least 25 percent of their health insurance costs if Gov. Donald L. Carcieri’s recent budget proposal is adopted by the General Assembly. The requirement would apply to any labor contract executed after Jan. 1.
