I've seen some cruel things in my career in politics, but @LennyforRI's call on @SenatorRuggerio - a two time cancer survivor - to step aside is the cruelest and most tasteless. Lenny's statement, which lacks any sort of well wishes for Donny, is also full of lies.
NEW: @SenatorRuggerio missed a big fundraiser today, spurring new Qs about his health - just hours after @LennyforRI urged him to retire à la Biden Ruggerio - and powerful allies - are hitting back hard at Cioe, and say his absence wasn't due to cancer

Former Ward 4 Councilman Nick Narducci, surrounded by family & friends, cuts the ribbon on the newly refurbished Narducci Learning Center. The PreK-8 school opens Wed. and will be used in the short term as much-needed swing space for students as the city rebuilds other schools

It was so inspiring to witness @pvdschools Fire Academy in action at their search and rescue exercise today! CTE programs like this not only benefit employers like the @PVDFireDept but also help change the lives of the students who participate in them. More of this, count me in.

The perfect celebration for perfect attendance 🏆 The @patsfoundation and Patriots players returned to @pvdschools to help students pick out books and read about the importance of #Juneteenth.

“There are many paths and life is about the choices you make,” said Superintendent Montañez while speaking to students at Brown Day. “Have faith, believe in yourself, think wisely, get that support group around you, and always ask yourself ‘what if?’”

Just attended a very informative meeting in ward 5 hosted by Councilwoman @JoannRyanPVD5 re the future of Mt. Pleasant HS. @pvdschools gave these assurances: 1) it will not be closed 2) it will not be privatized 3) rebuild or renovate will be a matter of community input.

"I came in and the kids were going crazy. It had me more nervous to come in and talk to the kids with how excited they were than an actual football game," New England @Patriots cornerback Jalen Mills (@greengoblin) told @yannitragellis.

As Council Finance Chair, I’m pleased to have successfully worked with my Council colleagues to lower the tax rate and lessen the tax burden on our single-family, multi-family properties and elderly homeowners in a difficult budget year.

The plan would increase the commercial rate to make up for the difference in revenue.
