• 8:56 AM dm on East Greenwich needs to find $330,000 in new savings

  The Town Manager may have to cut $300k from Town services for this Fiscal Year. Synthesize this information along with a recent article in the local on line newspaper regarding the School Department which consumes 80% of the entire municipal budget. As they reported, Mr. DiSaia's $10,000 per month tenure was going to be terminated. Not only has he been retained, but now he needs the SC Chair to baby-sit him in order to show up to a mission critical meeting. Ms. Crawford is (conveniently) on vacation when discussion of yet ANOTHER food service contract deficit is on the agenda, and we're paying an attorney to handle that business. If the fall out from the last food service contract debacle is an indicator for what's to come, Ms. Crawford should be receiving a raise soon. Yes, after the last deficit, and ensuing audit (because Ms. Crawford misrepresented the actual loss to the Town Council and School Committee), she received a contract extension and raise. Why is it that the School Department can drive the financial stability of the entire town into the ground and the multiple layers of incompetence at all levels of (mis) management allowed to behave this recklessly year after year after year with no repercussions? State law needs to be changed to hold employees personally liable for this kind of fiscal mismanagement. It's pathological. "

• 10:32 AM Former Employee on Former Tyco CEO seeks release from prison

  The following represents the double standard practiced by Tyco. The L. Dennis Kozlowski and Mark Swartz, former CEO and CFO of Tyco case represents the companies past sins and the following represents current activities at Tyco, Nothing has really changed, only the players. My employment at Tyco Valves and Controls was terminated September 3, 2009 based upon my violation of company policy as defined in the Employee Handbook. The reason for this violation is the weak enforcement of other company policies. On several occasions occurring approximately every two months by Patrick DeNardo, who reported to me, launched into a tirade in which he threatened the success of the Yarway product line by his resignation, taking other Yarway personnel with him, sabotaging the Yarway project, and setting me up for failure on the Yarway Project. This has been documented for several years and with my predecessor. The Tyco response by Eric Lears was to require Patrick DeNardo to complete on line Aggressive Behavior programs. This was supported by Alan West. The only thing stated was the loud outbursts made by Patrick DeNardo, nothing was put in place relative to the threats made. This forced me to be in a defensive position and to document these actions. I chose to use a voice recorder which is against company policy. Eric Lears and Alan West have not addresses the root cause of this situation and it will happen again. The mechanism chosen by Eric Lears and Alan West made me not eligible for unemployment compensation. I was told by Eric Lears with Alan West present on September 3, 2009 that I was being held to a “higher standard” with no warning. Reading between the lines it would appear that Patrick DeNardo is able to run over company policy and profession ethics with the support of both Eric Lears and Alan West. This provides POSITIVE RIENFORCEMENT to employee that is clearly out of control. I would only ask that you discuss this issue with John Ward and understand why the events leading up to my termination were not properly handled according to company policy. It is quite clear and evident that Patrick DeNardo can do no wrong and that this is supported by Human Resources and the Staff at Tyco Valves and Controls.

• 7:42 AM janri on Rhode Island tax revenue drops

  Of course tax revenues dropped. People are too busy paying higher food bills,utilities and higher taxes, which leave them with no spendable income. People are jobless, and losing their homes. And you want to know why revenues are down? Rhode Island's mentality will be to raise the taxes to cure the shortfall. They are clueless.

• 12:08 AM MrE2u on Channel 12 tops Channel 10's newscast at 11 p.m.

  It's hard to imagine people relying on the local TV stations for their news. The internet is up to date, more accurate and easily obtainable. The local TV stations are opinionated, narrow-minded and have a very insulting presentation to the audience. If one has to watch TV then I would suspect CNN be the better choice. Locally, read the paper.

• 10:04 AM egroeg eterp on Channel 12 tops Channel 10's newscast at 11 p.m.

  Channel 10 is a staple in RI news or otherwise. Channel 12 also. But 10 has always lead the pack. But it's been getting closer and closer. Channel 10 has slid back ever since the recent house-cleaning of some of the highest paid on-air personalities and just because some of the remaining crew were second-stringers and while ambitious wereand are getting stale. Bringing back Gary Ley on weekends is not the answer; although his professionalism and personality are welcome sights. Channel 10 has got to get a new image rather than asking the viewing public to accept less in terms of quality and expecting to remain first in ratings. New faces and top professional personalities commensurate with the NBC flag ship. Gene, Patrice and the others are not Doug(RIP) or the others who leapfrogged all the competition over the past several decades. The ratings drop I suspect is correlated to the big dollar guys who were let go. A whole new crew needs to be brought in so that Channel 10 can regain its number one role it always could be proud of. There is clearly a marked differnce in the quality of the news shows now.Frank Coletta while still enjoying top ratings for the morning show, better keep up with the times in terms of style and the new viewers coming into the news-viewing market. Channel 12: keep going; you folks are doing well and could be the pace-setters for the next decade. Best wishes to you all.
