MY GOD, Where to start...DICK, for someone who wanted to be Mayor and "works" in the banking and finance industry, your lack of knowledge on this issue is stupefying. YOU ARE NOT DEALING WITH AN INSURANCE COMPANY! Get up to speed....www.RhodeIslandinterlocalriskmanagementtrust.com. This is a risk management pool, formed originally by 6 or 7 communities here in RI back in the 80's to deal with risk management, costs, and in effect self insure..GOT IT?

Paola has this nailed down pretty well..How did we get here from there? Who authorized modifications to that building that did not meet code and went ahead and did it anyway? How did they get a CO? What kind of an inspection was done by the agency AFTER the building was modified? To suggest Mr. Solomon inherited this fiasco is totally disingenuous. He was the former council President and a CPA and a lawyer...None of this virgin territory for him....To suggest now we are going to extract $3-4M is is a Raimondi like fantasy...Seems to me the whole claim could be ruled null and void...Breach of contract...

Further, we the taxpayers pay for this privilege. We elect people to watch out for taxpayers...Instead, like the schools here and around the State as well as other city occupied buildings, they are neglected and not properly maintained...In short, we elect people to oversee the peoples business, they hire people to maintain the properties, we try to save by self insuring and Joe taxpayer foots the bill for all this wackiness...Makes perfect sense...NOT...Taxpayers, screwed again...HAPPY 2019....
