This piece by former Providence municipal worker Joaquim L. DeAmonim expresses a well-justified outrage that state and city officials honored, after his recent death, the profoundly corrupt former Mayor "Buddy Cianci,'' whose nonstop sleaze did great damage to the city and state. Their pathetic honoring of him was a signal to businesses and individuals who might consider moving to the state that too much much of the leadership remains at least passively corrupt.
