But every so often, we should catch them doing right.
As the Providence City Council did Monday.
Finally.
But all they deserve is one hand clapping.
The good: They reversed course and allocated $300,000 to get WaterFire going again after a year being shut down by COVID.
The bad: They almost let it die. Forever. By initially withholding the money. Even though the funds were from Washington.
Specifically, Providence got $42 million from the feds to get economy going post-pandemic.
There were talks about steering $300,000 of it to WaterFire. Mayor Elorza was behind it.
You’d think the Council would see what a home run that would be.
