<b>Your Beliefs</b><br>At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.<br><br><b>Politics </b><br>How would you describe your political beliefs? <br>I'm pretty progressive. <br><br>Are you registered with a certain party? <br>No. <br><br><b>Religion</b><br>How religious would you consider yourself? <br>Very spiritual, not very religious.<br><b><br>Local Hot-Button Issues</b><br>What do you think are the most important issues in the community? Education and spending, and education spending.<br>Where do you stand on each of these issues? <br>I think public education is the best investment we can make in our future. I'm often surprised by what we here in East Greenwich choose to spend our money on.
