We all know it, the police all know it, Councilman Jackson knows it, and of course Mayor Cicciline and Police Chief Col. Dean Esserman, who both live on the East Side (but not in Mt. Hope) know it, so let us all celebrate the OPEN AIR DRUG MARKET in Mt. Hope.
Drugs in Mt. Hope: Just a fact of life: We can't do anything about it!!!!
Them drug dealers and criminals, after all, are just trying to support their families the best they can, or so some would have you believe.
These people, who believe such myths, are the people who give liberals a bad name, who are responsible for the Democrats losing the last election, who have knee jerk reactions without putting their mind in gear before thinking and speaking.
Mt. Hope is Mt. Hope. It is not the nation. It is a small, corrupt neighborhood that has been manipulated by users who wish to maintain the status quo that they worked so hard to achieve (like the Patriarchal Brown Family dominating the Mt. Hope Neighborhood Association (MHNA) for generations, siphoning off Block Grant Money from Kevin Jackson for salaries to relatives and hangers on for alleged kickbacks): votes -- for the right to operate their drug trade with impunity.
Now, the jig is up.
No more tit for tat.
Let's call a spade a spade.
Under Rhode Island's (link) Access to Public Records Act, 38 - 2 - 3, anyone can request the financial records of the MHNA for the last 20 years and examine the way they have done business. You can examine whether they have abided by their non-profit charter. Under Rhode Island's General Laws 38 - 2 - 3, you can request all records of their financial dealings and all of the grants orchestrated by Councilman Kevin Jackson.
I requested the permit application that Kevin Jackson put in for the June 10 event in Billy Taylor Park (that resulted in the June 10 Riot) from the DPW and from Rita Murphy and both Bernard Levy (DPW) and Rita Murphy (MONS) refused to provide me with a copy of the requested application.
Yet today, I have a copy. (And I will provide it to anyone who asks.)
The DPW application, signed by Kevin Jackson, implicates Jackson and the Lewis family in the June 10 riot as the only parties responsible, except for the Providence Police Department, which refused to enforce the law when called upon to do so. Bear with me and legal proceedings will reveal the truth despite the City's efforts to sweep this matter under the rug and bury it.
I just won't go away as long as I am alive!
I hired a lawyer who obtained Jackson's DPW application for me through the above mentioned statue, Access to Public Records Act, 38 - 2 - 3. Just click that link to read the law.
Turns out I did not have to pay a lawyer for that, it was my right to get it under the law: Levy and Murphy broke the law in refusing me the records, and because they did I am entitled to recover my legal fees from them for their illegal refusal to provide the records.
It is a sad day when a citizen has to hire attorneys to get the city to do the right thing, like enforce the law in Mt. Hope. yet if that is what it takes, well, I have the means and I have the the will and I have the courage to go all the way.
I only hope that some other Mt. Hope residents have the courage to stand by my side and fight the good fight and set this neighborhood right.
CORRUPTION NO MORE!
GO ALONG TO GET ALONG?
NOT IN MT. HOPE!

GO, GO, GO JOHNNY, GO!!
Ms. Murphey is USELESS!!!!
I have still been attempting to get some answers from her regarding the Billy Taylor park incident from June. She is no lady and definitely is not an individual capable of holding the position she does.
Thank you for all your hard work!!
