Providence accuses developer of 'scamming' city using affordable housing law
The Rhode Island Supreme Court heard fiery arguments this week in a case where the Providence City Council is seeking to intervene in a tax deal made by the administration of former Providence mayor Jorge Elorza affecting 10 downtown Providence properties owned by Cornish Associates, the real estate firm of Arnold "Buff" Chace. "This was an unlawful scam that was perpetrated on the Superior Court and the City of Providence," rang the accusation from Max Wistow, the attorney who argued on behalf of the City Council. According to Wistow, previous administration officials knowingly superseded their authority to broker a tax deal that, he claimed, violated tax stabilization agreements that the council had already passed on some of these properties. Lawyers for the 10 real estate properties fired back that the City Council's claims "sought to weaponize" ordinary civil functions in City Hall, that the council was on "a fishing expedition," that the case was "wildly outside" the strictures of timeliness when it was originally filed, and that the council had no standing to oversee, much less challenge, a tax agreement that it was not a party to. In short : After years of court arguments and appeals, attorneys in the

Brockton towing owner marks 40 years built on hard work, service
BROCKTON — David Lynch has a formula for success. "Do the right thing. Answer the phone. Call people back," Lynch said as a crowd gathered at his towing company to mark 40 years in business. The Oct. 15 event at the new headquarters of Lynch's Towing & Recovery brought together more than 70 friends, relatives, coworkers and not a few politicians. It felt like a family reunion. Brockton Fire Chief Brian Nardelli compared Lynch to Brockton itself. "A small environment with a big heart. That's David," said Nardelli. Lynch's knack for business showed itself early. Like a lot of Brockton kids, he had a paper route. Unlike other kids, though, he recruited friends to help deliver The Enterprise. He'd motivate them with things like Doritos or a trip to 7-Eleven, according to a write-up handed out at the celebration. He ran the routes for 4.5 years, saving his earnings in a Crown Royal bag. Lynch worked days at Richard DeSantis' car dealership when he took his first step into the towing business. He acquired a "ramp truck," which are common now but were not in the '80s. He towed cars nights, after finishing his day job. His longtime friend Greg
