Report Inappropriate Comments

I agree wholeheartedly with the previous comments. I cannot believe that the people we put in our city government are more concerned with their pockets than they are with all of the citizens of East Providence. As soon as the budget commission submits their recommendations, the first thing these people think of is "How can this benefit me?' This is totally unacceptable. Working in local government is "public service" not "self service." I encourage everyone who lives in East Providence to let their voices be heard on this subject. The situation won't change unless we stand up for ourselves.

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.
