It's a shame this has happened, Chief Tavarares never had a chance in East Providence, and the sad thing is that not all our officers were against him, just the ones who always make trouble!! Why not get Chief Gary Dias back in there for a year or so, this department was at it's best when he was there! Let him get the department back in shape.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
