What a shame that this type of mentality still exist. There is a reason this Country is going down the tubes. These types of "Party" right or wrong is as destructive as it gets. How stupid can a person be to not realize that they are acting no different a communist Country where you disappear if you do not follow the party line.

"Historically, Mr. Faria said, when the dominant party controls the council, they always choose the chairman from that party, which Mr. Sweeney did not do. It seems Mr. Faria wishes for a gulag to send Mr. Sweeny. Congrats Mr. Faria you become that which Americans have fought against for over 200 years.

I found it refreshing that Mr. Sweeny, nominated Republican Councilor Mary Parella. I also loved it when Mr. Texeria got elected as an independent. It gave this town hope the people living here were realizing it is about the issues of the people and not party politics.

Least that is what I thought until I read this crap. Over 80 years the DEMS have held super majority in the State House. Longest record in the Country. What does R.I. have to show for it? Bottom of the list in everything and broke with no high wage jobs or meaningful education for our children. Now Mr. Faria would have that right down to the local level. Why not just appoint a "King" or better yet a Dictator. God people like you disgust me to no end. Your only concern is for power and not the people you are suppose to be serving. You sir should be run out of town on a rail in my opinion. People wonder what we have come to as a Country of late? Well this is it folks. Party above the people, all about the votes and the people be damned. Disgusting!!!!
