Raimondo once again at center of Biden Cabinet rumors
A venture capitalist with solid-gold academic credentials before she burst on the Rhode Island political scene a decade ago as a winning candidate for state treasurer, and then governor, Raimondo, a 49-year-old Democrat, has been mentioned before as a leading candidate for a Cabinet post.
On Dec. 4, Raimondo said she was not going to be Biden s nominee for health and human services secretary. I realize that rumors are rampant, she told reporters at one of her weekly news conferences. And I did want to address that honestly with you. My focus is right here in Rhode Island, as I have said. I’m working 24/7 to keep Rhode Islanders safe and keep our economy moving, and I have nothing else to add on that topic.”

A federal appeals court has upheld the right to secretly record police officers in the performance of their public duties, but has declined to act similarly with respect to other government officials because they have a greater expectation of privacy.
The ruling, by the First Circuit Court of Appeals, essentially strikes down the Massachusetts wiretap law, also known as Section 99, as it pertains to police officers. According to an analysis by Michael Lambert, a First Amendment lawyer with the Boston firm of Prince Lobel, “The decision means that Massachusetts journalists and citizens can, openly or secretly, record police discharging their duties in public without fear of criminal charges under the state’s wiretap law.”
