"It would appear that the RISP didn't take much care in redacting this report - at least in the web version that was propagated. Frankly, anyone with a laptop and ten minutes to spare could have done it. It also appears that the names and companies that were redacted, shouldn't have been in the first place," said Fisher. "Most of what was redacted would become clear with a simple public records search. Appointed city officials, companies contracted by the City of Cranston, etc."

"We were made aware that someone was able to redact the document," said O'Donnell. "I'm not sure they are at fault. They were able to doctor the original document. We went in and reposted the [updated] redacted version on our website."
"It doesn't impact the assessment in any way -- we redacted certain things for privacy reasons," said O'Donnell. "Whatever someone else does to manipulate it is on them."
