My heart hurts today. My deepest condolences to everyone at
@NBC10
. Jim was a true friend who was generous with his time and advice to young reporters everywhere. I will miss him deeply.
Sad news to report this morning. Our friend and mentor, Jim Taricani, has passed away. Few reporters have had an impact on investigative reporting like Jim. Dogged, tough, smart. Rest in peace.

50 years ago this month a reporter with the Projo's Newport Bureau dropped a bomb, uncovering then-President Richard Nixon had dramatically underpaid his taxes. The next year Jack White would be awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and elicit Nixon's famous "I'm not a crook" response.

My favorite thing about Rhode Map today is both "Junior" Patriarca, and former mob investigator/State Police Col. Brendan Doherty donated to the Speaker. It's what the late, great Bill Reynolds would call "a full Rhode Island."
Among the $2,000 donors on Speaker Shekarchi's latest campaign fundraising report: Raymond Patriarca Jr., the former head of the New England mafia.
