Before you vote on two of the proposed Town Charter changes please ask yourself two questions. First, question 6 proposes to increase the term served by elected town council members from 2 year to 4-year terms The question to be asked regarding this change is would you be able to afford 4 years of excessive tax increases if a majority of 3 like-minded big spender council members were elected and increased property taxes to the max, every year, for 4 years? Currently with the two-year term counci

Jason A. Wilbur Richer: The Town Newsletter message is damage control. It acknowledges what the documents already showed and tries to reframe the sequence after the October 19 statement. On October 19 Gibbs told the Council "not that I’m aware of" regarding data centers being referenced, and that he was sure they were not shown on any of the materials. The July Camoin market study, prepared under the Phase II work he oversees and posted on the town site, discusses them in detail. This new s

POST BRIAN NEWBERRY READ: “Rhode Island’s congressmen, Gabe Amo and Seth Magaziner, were among the 103 Democrats (and one Republican) who voted to eliminate aid to Israel. Is any local reporter interviewing them about why they did that? I have seen a prepared statements from the two congressmen. Still, journalists should actually - you know - talk with them and ask them questions about the substance of the situation, who if anyone they consulted, and the politics in Congress and among the elect

Jason A. Wilbur Richer: At the October 19, 2026 Town Council meeting, Town Administrator Scott Gibbs stated: “Not that I’m aware of. And in fact, the draft zoning ordinance that we have to present to the town council for the TIF district, since data centers are not referenced in our zoning ordinance, they would have to come to the town council for approval. No different than if it was not zoned, the town council could override the zoning ordinance. The council would have to authorize it 🧐, bu

Let me start by saying I am not affiliated with either political party. I have chosen to be an unaffiliated voter because I believe that the leadership of both political parties fails to represent the people’s interests, so I choose to support candidates who I believe will do their best to represent the average Joe, regardless of party affiliation. Until recently I was a longtime supporter of State Representative Brian Newberry. I supported him based on my perception at the time that he was

Jason A. Wilbur Richer: Mike Clifford asked me to put something together on the Route 146 water-and-sewer project and the TIF that would fund it. He is right to be worried. A consultant’s report already flagged a data center as a possible use, and the same people who pushed the large solar array are the ones promoting this next step. A Council majority that all moves the same way makes it easier for something this large to advance without real scrutiny. That is why he is voting for one cand
