" Cranston Mayor O'Leary Arrested " ?

 Writes James Hackett in a letter to the editor June 28 :

    " While we sink deeper into our problems, he continues to lie about

    what is going on and what is being done about it ". He is Cranston's

    mayor O' Leary -  now so unpopular that he does not dare run for

    re-election.

             Like Providence City Hall, Cranston City Hall just might be

    a cesspool of corruption.  Millions of dollars are missing ! Mass

    resignations of police officers and political hacks. Today we learn

    that DeLorenzo is leaving.

                 Remember " Deep Throat "  of Watergate fame ? " Follow

    the money " he advises the young investigating reporters.

           On page B1 today ( June 28 ) there is a shocking news story

    of a cocaine ring  - a " major distribution  network " ... " centered

    in Cranston  : " Police Probe leads to arrests of 46 people in cocaine

    ring ".

          Ironically West Bay published a letter of mine on March 5 titled

    " Vicious dogs rule " . The reader at first might have thought that  the

    letter was about Cranston politicians.

             Now I have every reason to suspect that the attractive young

    lady whose vicious dog chased me into the street  - a lady with a cell

     phone and a nice car -and a  FOP sticker  on her license plate - was

    a mafia princess connected to the cocaine network . The Hollywood

    movie would have her as Mayor O' Leary's girlfriend.

            Where did all that money go ? Well, in the movie  SOME of it

    went right up the lying mayor's nose ! His nose at least has grown in

    office !

               I hope the State Police and the FBI and Bob Kerr read THIS

    letter. A future Pulitzer Prize for the Providence Journal ?
