No talk radio for Chafee, and on-duty state workers, too
.
PROVIDENCE — No one is likely to confuse new Governor Chafee with his Republican predecessor, Donald L. Carcieri, and now here’s another way to tell them apart:
Chafee doesn’t plan to spend his own time on talk radio, and he intends to ban state employees from spending their state work time talking on talk radio, which was Carcieri’s favorite medium and an integral part of his communications operation.
Spokesman Michael Trainor said a directive will go out over the next day or so that reflects that new policy.
He said the policy emanates from a belief that talk radio is essentially “ratings-driven, for-profit programming,” and “we don’t think it is appropriate to use taxpayer resources” in the form of state employee work time to “support for-profit, ratings-driven programming.”

Talk radio? I'm guessing he's yet another Democrat who's never met a payroll or went sleepless during a recession? If he thinks that of talk radio, he must think TV news is done as a Public Service! I'll bet he'll do TV, and as often as he can.

What a drip.
