Political Scene: Competing for spotlight, Magaziner is everywhere
Seth Magaziner can t count on all of the free news coverage that competitor
Dan McKee gets, as governor, every time he opens his mouth, signs a bill or holds a press conference to announce the next step in Rhode Island s re-opening.
So he s become: Mr. Everywhere.
If there is a legislative press conference, a photo op with a high-profile Rhode Island labor leader or a chance to tout his progressive credentials, Democrat Magaziner is there.
By his staff s count, he has this year alone testified remotely or sent written testimony on 74 bills and budget proposals, ranging from the proposed plastic bag ban to Medicaid coverage for doulas to an assault weapons ban.
