First it was pot cannoli in House District 44. Now pensions are an ice cream flavor in Senate District 16.
State Sen. Betty Crowley is sending voters a mailer that attacks her opponent, former Central Falls Police Chief Joseph Moran, for negotiating a lucrative deal that allowed him to collect a pension and keep working for the city.

Moran and Crowley are both expected to take part in a candidates forum at Central Falls High School tonight sponsored by Leadership Rhode Island, Common Cause Rhode Island and Progreso Latino. It begins at 6 p.m. and I’ll be on hand to moderate.

She looks like she knows a lot about ice cream….
What about the $17,000. she took in “unused”sick and vacation time from the city? She was ONLY supposed to get it if she RETIRED. She took it when she went from deputy clerk to city clerk.
What isn’t that being discussed???
