So the WFD Union President Lloyd makes a side agreement with the Fire Chief Armstrong, (who came up through the same ranks as the union president, in the same union), providing monetary increases in pay. Sound like a conflict of interest? Does Warwick need to hire a fire chief from outside the city with no ties to the WFD?

The City Solicitor Ruggeiro signs the agreement yet Mayor Avedisian claims he knew nothing about it? Ruggeiro states the agreement was never perfected but yet let's it go into effect.

Then the former fire chief instructs his administration workers, with no over site from anyone in the city finance department, to use pencil and paper using the agreed upon non-ratified scheme to enhance FF pay, send the pay request to finance where checks are paid, with no questions asked?

And we are suppose to believe that every year when the fire department over spent its budget by millions of dollars, that Avedisian, his chief of staff and his finance director have no idea why the budget is over spent?

Doesn't pass the smell test. Appears to be a coordinated scheme to defraud taxpayers millions of dollars.

Avedisian, Ruggeiro, his former Chief of Staff, Mark Carruolo (who know works as West Warwick town planner), David Picozzi former chief of staff (who know works as West Warwick DPW director) and Ernie Zmyslinski former finance director (who how works as the Town Planner in WW) all need to be brought before law enforcement officials to testify what they knew, how this entire scheme was allowed to happen and how they were all involved in this.
