When it comes to evaluating Sue Stenhouse's credentials for Warwick Mayor, her Cranston fiasco demonstrates that in the public light Sue will “dress up” the situation to appear one way, and then take off the disguise and do the complete opposite behind the scene.
Example 1:
Today “Stenhouse considers bringing people together to bridge their differences and cooperatively work together as one of the strengths she would bring to the mayor’s office”.
However, Stenhouse once mailed a letter characterizing a city councilman (me) as slanderous, knowingly untruthful, purposefully hurtful, disrespectful, unproductive, uncivil, careless, destructive, and dishonest. When confronted by John Howell, Sue denied ever writing the letter. I was asked by Howell to submit the letter to him as proof that it existed. To this day Stenhouse never admitted to sending the letter.
Example 2:
Today Sue "emphasized the importance of schools to the community not only to prepare the next generation but also from the standpoint of making Warwick a desirable place to live and invest in a home." Over a decade ago, Stenhouse opposed when “the council formally backed a plan … to fund the teacher contract through a series of school and municipal budget cuts, as well as paring down several surplus accounts".
Example 3:
Today Stenhouse claims she will work collaboratively to address city challenges. Over a decade ago, Sue worked with an outside agency on the potential to consolidate city and school functions. The problem was that she refused repeated requests to have the agency focus on costly city side employee retirement expenses. Her own council colleagues questioned her on this issue. “The City Council had questions about the scope of the report”, believing the $35,000 was allocated for both school and city review, but noted that the comparisons did not have quite as much depth on the city side.
I could easily put down many more examples of the two sides of Sue Stenhouse and why she could never be trusted as mayor.
