General Treasurer: Seth Magaziner

Seth Magaziner is presenting a platform of action in his Blueprint for Rhode Island.  In that document he envisions using the Treasurer’s office as a bully pulpit to urge the General Assembly to make worthwhile State investments in such areas as historic preservation, municipal infrastructure and “green” construction and renovation.  These are worthwhile projects, and we have learned from recent experience that an active Treasurer can help change the status quo in the General Assembly.

I believe Seth shows great promise in succeeding in this expanded role for the Treasurer.  When he was an active member of the Common Cause Board, I worked with Seth Magaziner to prepare the redistricting reforms that the voters added to the Providence City Charter during the 2012 election.  Seth was dedicated and capable. I also think he brings strong investment knowledge and skills to this position.
