Letter: I agree, we need more public servants, fewer politicians

Posted

In response to Lou Cirrilo’s letter posted last week, Kudos to his definitions between Public Servant and Politician. We need fewer Politicians and more Public Servants.

I do not think our forefathers, when writing our Constitution, would ever have dreamed of the issues Rhode Island taxpayers have seen.
