And that is why he is not the right person to be governor of Rhode Island. The state needs a major overhaul, not just tweaking around the edges. For example, we need someone that has the courage to say that we can no longer afford 35+ police chiefs, fire chiefs, school superintendents, purchasing directors, etc. and work to consolidate local government at the county level. r if not that then something as dramatic as that.

Regarding your point #2, while Cicilline may not be the cause of all of Providence’s fiscal problems, he did nothing to address the outrageous COLA’s and he repeatedly said that Providence was in good financial shape so in my book he is guilty of complicity at a minimum.

BTW, love reading your posts. Great work.
