Today I decided to read the Projo online something I do every few weeks and was shocked to read about two differant corruption stories that I have some ties to.
The first was Robert Ciresi found guilty of offering a $25,000.00 bribe. I worked several years with his son Bobby.

The second was a 20 million-dollar kickback scandal at the Newport Naval Base and defense contractor Advanced Solutions for Tomorrow in Middletown. I interviewed for a position there a little over a year ago and we were 15k away from reaching agreement on salary.

I am just amazed at the level of corruption that goes on in this state day in and day out.
