Message: From GoLocalProv by Michael G. Riley, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: In light of Narragansett and West Warwick’s recent press reports summarizing their respective action and funding improvement plans, I was moved to review how this commission—which was born out of crisis—could have turned into such a disaster. They have tacitly endorsed kicking the can once again and provided cover for irresponsible “critical status” communities, which has further exacerbated the pension and OPEB liability crisis. The once roaring lion chairman and director of revenue of April and May 2012, that openly threatened towns like Coventry and West Warwick to “shape up or else,” has turned into a toothless bureaucrat that virtually no one respects. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/michael-riley-ri-municipal-pension-study-comm.-is-in-failure-mode
