The same candidates who refused to debate just cancelled their meet and greet.

You honestly can't make this up. Some of the very people who declined debating (Chrissy agreed, but many others did not) anyone this election cycle have now completely cancelled their own meet and greet. I just saw the screenshot from Facebook (yuck!) where Chrissy Rossi posted that the "Meet Some Candidates" event at the American Legion was officially cancelled because of last-minute dropouts and candidates simply not responding.

It really seems like they are taking cues directly from Trump at this point. They talk a big game, but when it comes down to it, they are not even willing to show up and meet the voters. It's so frustrating to watch.

Rossi even tried to brush it off by telling folks they can just reach out to the candidates directly with their last-minute questions since it's "crunch time". I sure hope the Facebook boomers don't destroy the city by electing people who literally hide from the public!!

Spremulli defending Flock today just proves how out of touch he is.

Wow, honestly I am just so disappointed today.

I’m really not the biggest fan of Botelho, but Spremulli completely lost me after that forum today. I just can't believe he went out of his way to defend the Flock cameras. We have seen police officers in New Bedford literally facing termination for using these cameras to stalk their romantic partners, and there are former suburban officers getting indicted right now for misusing them. We've even seen people right here in Rhode Island, over in Cumberland, dealing with lawsuits from a wrongful arrest that the Flock cameras assisted with.

If he’s an ex-cop and he's still out here defending a surveillance system that has so many privacy and abuse issues, how naive is he going to be on literally every other issue that comes up? It's just wild to me!

Townie Truth

There’s a group around here that people somehow still follow! Twice this election cycle I've seen them harass residents. It really seems like the people gathering under that roof are just the most extreme and bigoted people in the city. I'm not exactly a fan of DaSilva. But the kind of harassment I have seen them do to people I know is the worst I have ever seen in years in this city!

I've honestly seen enough of it, and people really need to start speaking out against this stuff. This can't be what EP stands for!!
