I am not the least bit interested in this website or viewing any similarwebsites, but I am particularly struck by williamson's quoted comments about his self-perceived constituents. If he were on the ww water board or even town council, perhaps I could agree that his reach was limited, but as a member of the state legislature, he works (or should) for all of us. His view is especially troubling when he is involved in matters which affect the state budget and decisions that impact Rhode Island, statewide. If this provincial view permeates the legislature, small wonder we have the never ending conflict of interest problems from our state senators and representatives.  This is outrageous and a reason for ww voters to vote him out. That which is no good for the state, is no good for cities and towns.

Dear N,

Ignorance is bliss? The only thing remotely provocative about my anti-Williamson web site is the URL. The rest is actually pretty tame, reasonable, perhaps even lawyerly (for the record, I am not a lawyer). If I didn't use such a domain name, nobody would bother with it, especially the newspapers. But alot of people seem to be curious about it, and it sure got Williamson's attention since he replied angrily about it being "borderline slanderous." So, I guess you could say, "it works;" anything that can strive to be truthful and shake up an apathetic public is near remarkable.

I agree with the rest of your analysis. Williamson is pretty darn arrogant about his role and the role of we citizens. Maybe he is taking lessons from the King of Rhode Island, his royal highness, Frank Wiliams.

Vanderbilt said "The public be damned." It seems like our legislators have adopted the robber baron mentality.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Best,
Hal
