always the ebb and flow..but watch this year

Hope you were there or will check 13 for the rebroadcast of the mayoral debate. Whether you believed in more police from Don Grebien or everything is moving fine for the past 11 years, there was good info to help you decide. but vote on the 4th

Dear Arthur,

Which way is the Councilor's political motivation?   Is he for decreasing  or adding $7.9 to $20 million from the 2009-2010 city budget?  However, the city does need more policemen.  Actually, I could save Mayor Doyle or the Councilor money.   Instead of hiring more policemen, how about hiring seven angry Cape Verdean grandmothers?   I hear from some Shea students that they are good at breaking up gang fights with wet rubber hoses. 

Why is this logic being used?   Cape Verdean grandmothers know all the gangbangers.  Besides, all these teen "wannabees" are afraid of Nanas.

By the way, Arthur, feel free to delete this message.  I am only 10 percent kidding.

Peace,

Jim

Actually Grebien says his website shows 20 million dollars in savings... www.grebien08.com and maybe we need some volunteer help and auxiliary police to boost the city...Certainly there was discussion of the needs for more than talk of some changes in the schools to stop the dropouts among other things..

Here was the info on the taping from last nite for ch18 at 10 tonite and on Friday and next wednesday at 10 too.

Catch final mayoral debate tonight on Ch. 18

October 21, 2008 at 1:46 am

The first cable access broadcast of Tuesday's third and final debate of Pawtucket's 2008 mayoral campaign will air tonight (Wednesday, Oct. 22) at 10 p.m. on Cox Cable Channel 18.

In what may have been his strongest performance to date, in the third and final debate of the campaign with Mayor Doyle, mayoral candidate City Councilor Don Grebien detailed his economic plan, said the city needed action instead of perpetual plans, and laid out his vision for the city's future.

The debate will also air on Channel 18 at 9 p.m. Friday (Oct. 24) and 10 p.m. next Wednesday (Oct. 29). After tonight's broadcast, it will also be posted here on Don's Web site (www.grebien08.com) for viewing 24 hours a day through the Nov. 4 mayoral election.

The one-hour forum, held in the City Council chamber in City Hall, was hosted by the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce, whose president/CEO John Gregory served as moderator, and the Pawtucket Rotary Club, whose president Paul Palange was one of the panelists. The other panelist posing questions to the candidates was Donna Kenny Kirwan, staff writer for The Times.

Don's performance in the first debate in late September, on the Glen Medeiros Show, was widely seen as giving a strong boost to his candidacy. The second forum, hosted Oct. 7 by the downtown group PADS at the Gamm Theatre, was billed as "A Casual Conversation" between the candidates. Tape of that debate has yet to become available. Tuesday's City Hall debate was professionally taped by Paul Jacob Video and Sound.
