THE SERIES "CRIMETIME" IS OVER....OR IS IT?

The popular podcast series CRIMETIME is over after 18 episodes focused on the city of Providence. The podcasts put the spotlight on the capital city telling the story of Mafia boss Raymond Patriarca, wise guys galore and the rise and fall of Buddy Cianci. After the world had a chance to listen to insider after insider share their personal insight into crime and corruption in Providence, the Providence Journal's headline above Friday's fold asked IS PROVIDENCE STILL CRIMETOWN? It's a fair question. Patriarca checked out 30 years ago and Buddy died 16 months back but how much has REALLY changed?  Well, since 2014, very little. Former House Speaker Gordon Fox...if he has internet privileges...could follow CRIMETOWN in a Pennsylvania federal prison a few hundred miles from the RI Statehouse...Former House Chair Ray Gallison's waiting to be sentenced on 9 federal counts that will put him behind bars for at least 2 years...former rep John NO STORY HERE Carnavale was charged with perjury and filing false documents...former rep Peter Palumbo arrested on embezzelement charges...Providence City Councilman Kevin recalled facing the same...and most recently Providence City Council President Luis Aponte in red handcuffs accused of using campaign contributions for personal use. IS PROVIDENCE STILL CRIMETOIWN? You tell me.
