To the Editor,
As a 30+ year Cranston resident and independent voter, the last 4 years under the Hopkins administration have been disappointing, humiliating and more like having a bully in the office. While he may have been a gym coach and been on the City Council, he has demonstrated an open disdain for residents in ‘blue wards’ and a total lack of ability to admit when he’s wrong. It could be his absence of business acumen that makes his time in office almost over or perhaps it’s his shortsighted views that will be his downfall. The mayor has disappointed thousands and thousands of residents and that will surely play into his downfall at the ballot box in November.
One last mention that the original Budlong Pool is full right now with years of accumulated precipitation. It doesn’t leak now and never did, despite how hard the mayor wanted it to be true. He chose to perpetuate the lies and false facts in order to build his tiny pool. The tiny pool RFP/Bid was finally published this past Friday. Bids close in March. I predict it won’t open this year. That’s gotta be a burn.

Susan,
All I can say is BRAVO. You hit every nail on the head. The only way Hopkins will pull off any sort of pool opening this year, in a safe and public fashion, is to make it a kids 3 inch plastic one from Ocean State Job Lot. Somehow he will still need state or a federal grant to fund such a project.
Bundlong pool renovation: $3.5+ M (price tag TBD)
Itri Park renovations: 22M
Enclosure to the police shooting range $1.5M that the mayor refuses to spend. But a park and pool that is utilized 3 mounts out the year. Priceless and on point for this administration and city council agenda.
