I think it would be grand if we could vote for how sits on the RIOC board as well. Still trying to figure out how in the heck they could meet in the middle of the night and fire Mr. Shane. That should be boycotted.
does not seem like that should be able to happnen.
I agree very, the people of RI should be able to vote for who they want on the RIOC board. I think that Mr. Shane did a great job, even more so now seeing how they treated him...he had to know he was up against the wind here.
I also think that it should be a rule and law that all PSD and "All" RIOC board members should live here on the island.
1. You do get to vote for the RIOC Board members
2. All but two board members live on the Island. The other two are there by virtue of their positions in the State because of the huge investment the State has made in the Island. It will never be 100% residents as long as there are outstanding bonds.
I'm sure PSD Officers would love to live on the island, but per the Special Patrolman rules of the NYPD Police Commissioner, they are forbidden from doing so.
The same thing applies to NYPD Police Officers, of which I am. We can not live in our geographical area of employment.
Is that Frank Farance wearing a dress shirt?
Where's his Teletubbies bag?
