Mass Gov. Patrick to speak at Brown tomorrow

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is coming to town.

The Democrat will deliver the Frank Licht Lecture on Contemporary Issues tomorrow evening at Salomon 101, on the main Green, off Waterman Street.

The lecture, titled “An Evening with Deval Patrick,” will be free and open to the general public. It is sponsored by the Taubman Center for Public Policy.

Patrick has recently made news with his plan for three full-scale gambling casinos in Massachussets, which has left some wondering what the impact would be on neighboring Rhode Island, where voters have defeated proposals for such operations.

Patrick was elected last year with 55 percent of the general vote. The Chicago native and Harvard Law School graduate worked for former President Clinton as the Assistant U.S. Attorney General for Civil Rights, and for the Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta as Executive Vice President.

The lecture begins at 7 p.m.
