Cliff Wood fundraiser tonight

Cliff Wood, who claimed Rita Williams's Ward 2 Providence City Council seat in 2006, continues to be the subject of some mayoral speculation for 2010.

N4N thinks Councilman Cliff, a member in good standing of the Cicilline-Cornish Associates' nexus, is less likely to go for it than a number of other candidates, but you never know. And one way to keep one's options open is by replenishing your war chest.

Accordingly, while there's a time around the corner tonight for Barack Obama, Wood will be the subject of a fundraiser (6-8) at the Peerless Roof Garden, Peerless Lofts, 150 Union Street. The suggested donation is $75.
