A Blog Called Hope

So, I’m sure everyone has seen this article in Monday’s ProJo about Carcieri’s appointment of his pal Adelita Orefice.

Adelita Orefice, the former director of the Department of Labor and Training who this month was named deputy director of the Office of Health and Human Services, did not assume a vacant position, as the administration said.

The classified position was established for her.

After his State of the State address, one would assume that he would follow his own advice and tighten government spending. Rather, he appoints his political ally to a position with an $119,000 salary. Seems hypocritical doesn’t it?

Chairman Lynch has called of the Governor to rescind the appointment.  Read the entire press release here.

“The governor’s latest display of arrogance is nothing less than outrageous and today I call on him to immediately withdraw the Orefice appointment and start following some of his own fiscal belt-tightening recommendations.”

Sign our petition and hold the Governor accountable.
