I had conversations with Dennis and Nikki about = this (and Robby and Huma and I and others have been on a "heated" chain wit= h Mark Weiner about all of this) - so I hope you'll understand why I'm weig= hing in. Dennis called me initially to talk about the possibility of doing an event = in RI. I told him that he needed to check with labor because while the trad= es like Gina, the publics don't. I further suggested that a check be done w= ith Fire because of this penchant to picket because of issues with the Mayo= r (I recall they did picket when HRC did an event in 2008). After Dennis got Nikki's report, he and I talked and I told him that I woul= d still be worried about Fire if the event was held in Providence. One reas= on it is not being held in Providence. Based on his numerous emails and calls, it appears that Mark was not happy = that he was not directly in engaged in the event nor was he happy that Paul= , with whom he has a close relationship, had not "blessed" the event. I bel= ieve Nikki was asked to call Paul in follow-up to Mark's numerous emails an= d calls. So now we are here - being asked to have the guest list preapproved. And ev= en though my understanding is the Mayor of Providence is not attending - th= at seems beside the point now. > On Nov 25, 2015, at 10:59 AM, Nikki Budzinski <nbudzinski@hillaryclinton.= com> wrote: >=20 > Hello- > I wanted to share with you details of my phone conversation with Providen= ce Fire Fighter President Paul Doughty this morning.
