Last year Taxpayers lost two Fire Board seats by 15 votes. Don’t let that happen again
this year, or it will result in uncontrolled spending and the kind of gross mismanagement that resulted in the bankruptcy of 2012. The General Assembly passed an Overtime law in 2019 to specifically benefit firefighters – no other municipal employee or private sector union members were included in that new law. If the Taxpayers lose control of the seats up for election this year, the tax increases will be much more painful in the next years. The Board will give away the store to the employees and good governance of the last 8 years will be for nothing. Please support those candidates who will continue to speak for the Taxpayers and will continue good, sound governance for all of the inhabitants of the CCFD. As the outgoing President, and member of the Board for the past 8 years, I fully support and endorse: .
Carl Mattson
Carl Mattson has degrees in Accounting, Information Technology and Marketing and will bring Management and Budgeting experience to the table
Debra Santilli
Debra Santilli, a graduate of URI with degrees in Finance and Insurance, has been a Financial Analyst for Major Insurance companies for 20 years. She is also the Financial Consultant for her family’s business, The Rita Beaulieu Center in town.
They will continue to represent the Taxpayers and will make your safety their priority.
Both will work to manage finances efficiently, economically and within budget, keeping taxes affordable for taxpayers. Paid for by Fred Gralinski, Citizen and Outgoing President of the Board, and Richard Bergeron
