I have met both the Mayor and his wife many of times, both are likable. Although Mayor Fung has been an asset to the city, a name change does not transition the skills or the experiences to take on running a city like Cranston. The city is has been progressing forward but let us not forget that we have been fortunate to have a seasoned, well versed experienced Council President in Mike Farina who has brought many years of business and political experience to table in leading our council and working with Mayor Fung to make Cranston a city to be proud to live in.

The momentum we have experienced as a city needs to carry forward and in my opinion the most qualified and ready to lead on day one person to replace Fung would be Mike Farina. As a resident and parent, the work Mike has done as a councilman and Council President to ensure our services never skip a beat or our city is well prepared for our children cannot be underestimated.

Farina brings leadership experience from both the public and private sector, albeit as the leader of the city council or as an executive level in his career. For many of the council, they are not as prepared to take over and lead the city at this moment in time. Many bring great ideas and do much for the city but many, if not any of them have yet to been seasoned enough to take on the helm of this city.
