No doubt some members have seen the news of Cianci's death. I grew up during his time in office and vividly remember some of his major news stories. There is a very unique dynamic to Rhode Island. Everybody is related to everybody. With the exception of the few remaining WASPs and Jewish families on the East Side, the majority is Catholic.
