The Pawtuxet Village Association will provide residents the opportunity to hear from candidates for Warwick mayor as well as some of the Warwick and Cranston City Councils, state senators and state representatives candidates tonight from 7-9 p.m. in the auditorium of the William Hall Library, 1825 Broad Street, Cranston.

    Watch and Listen to the current City Councilman speak to a Warwick Taxpayer in this 2 minute video from the City Council meeting Monday 10/20/2014. I would be furious if I was spoken down to this way.

    Stacia Huyler (Petri) asks the question, who is responsible for the road repair bond not being on the ballot? Listen to his response. Is this who you want representing you? He has been in office 6 years.

    It's time for a change. The councilman follows the orders of the mayor, is disrespectful to the taxpayers, and does not consider the taxpayers when voting.

    Elect Patrick Maloney Jr on Nov 4 and get someone who will respect the position and everyone in our community. Thank you.
