The First Year...1.5.12

This week Providence Mayor Angel Taveras looks back on his first year in office: the challenges and surprises, the successes and setbacks, as he answers the critics who thought he might not be tough enough to get it all done. And he tells Jim Hummel why he hasn't criticized his predecessor David Cicilline - when many others have.

Hidden truth...1.12.2012

For years motorists in the East Bay couldn't figure out why the Barrington Bridge was taking so long - and costing so much - to finish. This week: the president of the company that was being blamed by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation talks publicly with Jim Hummel, for the first time, about a confidential report that now puts the blame on the D.O.T., costing taxpayers millions of extra dollars. And, he says, the problems go much deeper.

(Re) Calling Mayor Flanagan   1.19.2012

Even before he was sworn in for a second term on Jan. 2, Fall River Mayor William Flanagan discovered an unexpected challenge for the new year: a recall effort by two city residents, upset with controversial decisions the mayor made right after his election in November. They include the appointment of an interim fire chief facing a criminal charge in Rhode Island. If successful, it will be the first time a mayor has been recalled in Fall River's 209-year history.
