This guy is being groomed to be the first duly elected Mayor of East Providence. All articles or reports neglect to mention that he was asked to leave the city manager's position after the fiasco with the tax hike that he tried to get through. Watch out for your wallets, taxpayers, he said that when he was on the job, he knew where all the money was being spent. Yeah, up until the school department handed him a huge deficit. Still, it was his watch. It troubles me that in this state we can't seem to get any new people into positions of power because the old ones are always circling like buzzards. I am tired of feeling like we are nothing but carrion to these officials. They're constantly looking to see if there's anything left on the bone. He is part of the reason the budget commission had to step in. His years of (mis)management were a factor.
