During his multiple runs for public office there wasn't much I agreed with Rick Corrente on. I didn't like his approach and felt he talked down to anyone that questioned him on anything. If he is a man of his word, then I think he's making good decision walking away from any type of campaign for public office. I hope he remains committed to this decision, I will put my skepticism on hold and give the man the benefit of the doubt in this case.

I do give Mr Corrente some credit for taking his own time and applying it to a new, worthy cause. After losing his 2nd election over a 4 year span (something that would be difficult for any candidate I'm sure) it would've been easy for Rick to disappear and think about what could have been. It seems instead he has found something he can be equally passionate about and I think that should be applauded as a very positive outcome. I wish Mr Corrente nothing but luck and I hope he has a very succesful day at Patch Fest.

Side Note: I hope the Beacon follows up on this reporting after the event. How many people attended?, how much $ was raised, how much $ is being donated? A quote from Mr Adams himself would also be welcomed when they aren't up against the deadline.
