Why would there be a threatened boycott if it wasn't to get Mr. Cushman fired? Clearly if Mr. Lloyd's intent has been wrongly characterized he should release the email and let light shine down on the truth. The taxpayers deserve to know the actual costs of city services. City workers deserve to know that their promised compensation is going to be delivered. Right now neither side is getting what it wants. You don't have to look far to know that what I'm saying is accurate. Providence has needed massive concessions. Central Falls went bankrupt and one of the Coventry fire districts went bankrupt. Raising taxes every year while squeezing city services is not a sustainable model. Nearly all new tax revenue raised goes to pensions and retiree benefits. The administration must address this.
