NEW: Chafee—‘Running out of Time’ to Fix Central Falls Budget
Tuesday, May 10, 2011
“Recent reports I have received from Justice Flanders indicate that we do not have the luxury of time to correct the chronic and longstanding financial challenges in Central Falls,” Chafee said. “Therefore, I have authorized Justice Flanders to take whatever steps he deems necessary, including expediting options that will assure residents of Central Falls with continued access to essential public safety services.”
The Governor’s office also announced that Flanders, who is a retired Supreme Court justice, had hired Municipal Management Solutions, a Rhode Island-based company that will help him in “implementing emergency fiscal management and oversight services.”

This should be good. Municipal Management Solutions was just incorporated April 8th, 2011. I wonder who got the inside track on this deal?
