Brightside Is Back:

It's been quite a while since I posted to Brightside and in all honesty, I didn't think I ever would again.

Until yesterday.

A friend from Jamestown forwarded me a link to a West Warwick related post in Craigslist's Rants and Raves category.

Here's the link

WW Councilwoman Is an Idiot !!!

I've watched quietly as this whole Building Official debacle has unfolded.

I was convinced that the Council's initial action against the Building Official would lead to his dismissal.

My greatest disappointment is that Councilman Gosselin caved in and did not display the courage that has marked his term to date.

Councilmen Giroux and Calci did what had to be done and for that they should be commended.

I'm not at all surprised by the vote from Padula and Gustafson. After all, Murray is a "Homeboy."

Councilman Gosselin, It's in your hands, and it's not too late to do what is right for the people of West Warwick.

David, ask yourself; Knowing what you know, how can you or anyone else ever believe anything that emanates from the Building Official's office?
