  • State Sen. Scott White, R.I.P.

State. Sen. Scott White (D-46) was found dead yesterday, of a suspected heart attack. He was only 41, and leaves behind a wife and two young children.

I've got no information to add to that in other news reports, and I didn't know Scott very well, so it's not like I have some touching or meaningful personal anecdote to leave you with. He was, to me, just one of many politicians with whom I dealt with from time to time.

But to his children, ages 3 and 5, he was their daddy, and it's to them for whom my heart goes out the most.

Life is very, very fleeting, and often, horribly unfair.
