Listen very closely fed up...If you want to openly advocate for politicians and feel a need to comment on every cause de celebre that comes down the pike, then resign your post as an elected member of the non-partisan school committee. I have many disagreements with the Mayor on a host of issues, the WSA being just one. But to blame him solely for an agency that has been run off the tracks almost from its inception, through 4-5 administrations and countless city councils with little or no oversight is unfair. The facts are if it wasn't for Al Gemma and Carlo Pisaturo, there never would have been a city wide bond issue for sewer construction. McCaffrey bought you off with a stop gap measure on tie ins. You have not asked him, McNamara, Coluntuano, Naughton, Walaska, Handy, or any of the other wiz-bangs who hold office, "Why no pursuit of federal monies, be it grants or low interest loans to complete the tie ins?" While you are at it, ask Langevin and Reed...it was the Obama administration that supposedly pumped $1B into this State.

Your comment on state pension reform and or budgets is laughable...McCaffrey has been there for 18 years! The population of the State was about 1m when he was first elected and the budget was a little over $1.3B...18 years later the population is the same, but the budget is $8B! What's wrong with this picture? As far as pension reform...Yes, he voted for Raimondo's pension reform, but the quid pro quo was sponsoring the binding arbitration bill for the NEA. He didn't count on it being killed in the House. Of course, you being a school committee member, you would know all about the financial implications for the taxpayers if that thing got passed. FED UP...Read the audit reports on the $15B pension and healthcare liability. The warnings were sounded by Ernie Almonte for at least 10 years! The stooges in the GA looked the other way, little or no oversight. All of the parties in that room who signed contracts year after year knowing that they were reckless and unsustainable should be charged federally for perpetrating a fraud on taxpayers and the rank and file. Look at McCaffrey's big donors, then tell me who has his ear on large issues...BIG LABOR!

As far as this gay marriage stuff..I don't really give a damn..it is # 187 on the list of priorities that needs to be dealt with Statewide. If the State goes belly up city by city, town by town like Central Falls, gay marriage and a whole lot of other things won't matter. You are suppose to be a numbers guy fed up...tell us, can the amount of debt on the books both State and local be fixed without Draconian change? To say that Mike McCaffrey is some sort of steward or gatekeeper of financial responsibility, or a change agent is Fantasyland. WAKE UP!

From: McCaffrey, Pisaturo days away from decisive primary
