Interesting timing with @mayorLBH pushing out the city’s director of human services who was uninvited to her inauguration after refusing to use sick time to impede temporary mayor Gendron during her two months out of office

[Alexa Gagosz @AlexaGagosz]

I’m told that 9 people were staying in the encampment. Crews showed up at 8 am this morning and gave them 30 minutes to pack up and leave.

I’m also told that some didn’t have time to get their sleeping bags, tents, and heavier clothing in time.

Is @mayorLBH still instructing her personal photographer and social media editor to meddle while waiting to return? Does he post for her page while on the clock? @Coalition_Radio recorded this interference against people she has fought with before https://t.co/4UUlkLdyr5

#Breaking: The Woonsocket City Council has ousted Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt from office, just months before she will likely be sworn back in. https://t.co/Gfmdz1dCF9

Outgoing councilwoman Sierra files complaint to remove @mayorlbh. #02895 #Woonsocket #2022election https://t.co/6IsfS7qhbL

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

With councilwoman Sierra out of the running so ending the veto overriding majority slate and @mayorLBH running unopposed will new alliances be formed after elections or will the mayor have stronger veto power next term? #02895 #Woonsocket #2022elections https://t.co/qitNYhO3pE

@NicoleLussier9 We reveal names that are either public info or have given full permission to reveal at the right time after gathering corroborating reports on incident. We inquire to anyone else who may have more information before saying. Court records are publicly available #02895 #Woonsocket

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

There are updates to this incident. The worker is no longer currently employed directly by the city and the elected democrat is running for reelection to his seat. Local media was prevented from reporting on this incident at the time #02895 #woonsocket

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

We have received direct reports of an elected democrat in Woonsocket who got into a heated argument with a municipal worker that resulted in the democrat physically shoving the employee and having the incident covered up. We’ll update with any info sent to us #Woonsocket #02895

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

@NicoleLussier9 We watch all types of incidents including violent ones ongoing in court as pictured. We report what we hear only giving names when someone is ready to come forward to publicly blast it. Until then we watch the ongoing incidents like the court case pictured #02895 #Woonsocket

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

We have heard more stories about these incidents. People’s housing was being held as a bargaining chip for doing campaign work or they would risk losing housing. Ironic that now this individual works for a homeless support organization #02895 #Woonsocket #followthemoney

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

We’ve gotten reports of a candidate in 2020 who used a nonprofit workplace to campaign for office. People were pressured to work for the campaign in order to receive certain needed financial benefits. We’ll reveal any updates we receive on this #02895 #Woonsocket #Followthemoney

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

It doesn’t appear that this person is running for any major seat this year at least not beyond committees and the such but is possibly eyeing a 2024 run for something

And with declaration done it appears for the first time that @mayorlbh will be running unopposed #02895 #Woonsocket #2022election

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

With this surprise announcement of running for state rep against long term incumbent Phillip, will there be any returning challengers for Woonsocket City Council from 2020 besides current members? #02895 #Woonsocket #2022Election

Now that @JonDBrien1 has announced a general assembly run, who is going to run against @mayorLBH this year for Woonsocket mayor? Declaration period is coming soon #02895 #Woonsocket #2022election

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

No contact advisory finally lifted for Blackstone River after days of leaking. Is @JacobsConnects engineering going to be sanctioned for this by the city government?

[Rob Smith @robesmit]

The no-contact advisory for the Blackstone River has been lifted by DEM this afternoon. The wastewater facility run by private contractor Jacobs had been leaking partly treated (bathroom) solids into the river since June 5.

With elections season returning there are many things we have to reveal prompting a return to postings. Since #2020 ended a majority or democrats on the Woonsocket City Council and elected a republican, will 2022 see more republicans or a rise in democrats elected? #Woonsocket

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

Weve heard reports from many parents being upset and snubbed that @mayorLBH and other elected people representing the city did not attend the #2021graduation for the Woonsocket High School this year #DisappointedFamilies #02895 #Woonsocket

[Woonsocket Watchdog @WoonsocketWatch]

Councilwoman Gonzalez failed to file Annual report for VIDA church last year causing @RISecState to revoke it’s certificate to transact business in the state of Rhode Island. The report was due June 2020 at the beginning of last campaign season #02895 #Woonsocket #Finances
