THE COVENTRY COURIER — "The Rhode Island Auditor General has agreed to look further into issues with the town of Coventry’s sewer fund.

In January the town’s local delegation, including Senator Lou Raptakis, Patricia Morgan, Michael Chippendale, Robert Nardolillo, Jared Nunes, Sherry Roberts, Patricia Serpa, requested that Auditor General Dennis E. Hoyle conduct an investigation into the operation of the town’s sewer program and enterprise fund, which is running an annual deficit, according to town officials. Councilors Debra Bacon and Karen Carlson also sent their own letter in support of the delegation’s request." Find out more - Click/Tap on this link.

“It's out of control and the ones who are going to suffer are the rate payers, the taxpayers of Coventry,” Raptakis said. “They're being forced to tie into a sewer program that I call a Ponzi scheme, and I'll continue to call it a Ponzi scheme.” See NBC 10 I-Team's New Report: Another Official Resigns from Coventry.

Raptakis and his colleagues have three bills pending at the State House. One would suspend the sewer program until at least 2019. Read more at: NBC-10 RI
