ADUs are additional dwelling units which can be newly built or outbuildings modified on properties which are single family zoned. In essence, it allows single family home owners to become landlords and rent to tenants. ADUs may seem like a great idea so grandma and grandpa can get some additional income but they come at a cost and one is liability. ADUs destroy the fabric of the single home neighborhood while not solving the problem of rental properties with high fees. The only people that benefit from ADUs? The trades unions that will build them or convert out buildings.

Bob Chiaradio chastises the Westerly, RI town council over passage of rules that limit the two public comment periods to agenda items. Prior to 2024, the first public period was for agenda items and the second was for open public forum where the public could speak on any matter. Restricting the public comment periods to agenda items only means the town council gets to limit the speech of their constituents and to address their elected officials on matters of concern. He notes that Warwick also tried to impose restrictions on public comments and lost in court. Mr. Chiaradio vehemently opposes this restriction on free speech and asks the town council to vote once again to put meeting rules back to pre-2024 regulation.

Dr. Andy Bostom, an accomplished epidemiologist, was invited to speak at a RI Republican State Central meeting in East Providence, RI. Dr. Bostom covered five sections of the state’s COVID response along with the reluctance of Rhode Department of Health’s to release modeling criteria that triggered dystopian regulations of lock downs, forced masking, 6’ social distancing and vaccine mandates. The five areas covered by Dr. Bostom were the following. 1) Covid PCR testing in Rhode Island QUESTION(S): Were you ever PCR tested for covid? When you were PCR tested, were you given your “cycle threshold” value, specifically? Related APRA filed with State Rep. Patricia Morgan, regarding the ~first 5000 PCR tests performed in the state lab, & illuminating data (finally!) obtained. 2) The Rhode Island Covid-19 Hospitalization Models of April 16, 2020 QUESTION(S): --Do any of you recall watching then Governor Raimondo’s nationally televised presser (live on C-Span or on local TV), April 16, 2020, where she unveiled with great fanfare the covid-19 hospitalization model prediction for the next ~2-weeks, i.e., 4/27/20, & 5/3/20? --Do you recall how ~many Rhode Islanders were supposed to be hospitalized for covid on those dates? --Do you know how many Rhode Islanders were hospitalized with, as opposed to for, we now know, covid, on those dates? Related APRA filed with State Rep. Chippendale, seeking modelers, rationale, any explanation for model performance. 3) Covid-19 Mortality Risk in RI QUESTION(S): --Do you know how former Covid response Director, & later Acting RIDOH Director (& now NY State Commissioner of Health) Dr. James McDonald defined “covid death” in RI under oath during the Southwell v.

Chippendale, seeking RIDOH communications rationalizing campus closures, and other “mitigation” measures, with Brown University & URI 4) Mask Mandates in RI especially RI public schools, & colleges QUESTION(S): --What evidence did RIDOH rely upon when it “recommended” imposing the mask mandates? --What empirical evidence do we have regarding the “success” of the mask mandates in preventing covid infections in RI? Related APRA filed with State Rep. Chippendale, seeking RIDOH communications rationalizing masking, specifically, with Brown University & URI 5) Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates in RI especially among HCWs, and college students --What evidence did RIDOH rely upon when it “recommended” imposing the vaccine mandates? --How many URI students were hospitalized because of a covid caused lower respiratory tract infection before the vaccines were available? --What empirical evidence do we have regarding the “success” of the vaccine mandates in preventing covid infections in RI?

The Rhode Island Family Institute has been presenting fact base evidence on how pornography in the home, schools and private viewing diminishes the sanctity of the family unit, marriage and childhood development. Three separate speakers each spoke on a unique and separate facets of the dangers and destructive nature of pornography. In this section, child advocate Bob Chiaradio, addresses the struggles of removing cartoon porn books in school libraries.

The Chariho Forgotten Taxpayers group was cofounded by President Louise Dinsmore and Clay Johnson. The group seeks to educate the community with information on topics that might remain hidden from view, misreported or underreported at best. On September 22nd, 2023, the Chariho Forgotten Taxpayers PAC held a fundraiser event with approximately 60 attendees. Featured guest speaker was Nicole Solas who is often seen on the national stage. Nicole Solas became renown to the RI and national scene when she simply requested information from the South Kingstown, RI school committee. Her children were to be enrolled and as a responsible parent became interested in the school curricula. In this speaking event, Nicole goes through a timeline where she evolved from a curious parent to becoming a popular guest contributor on major network news channels. At this event, Nicole demonstrates through video, texts and information gathered through her journey to show how schools are reluctant to provide information to parents that file APRAs (Access for Public Records). She was sued first by the South Kingstown school committee and subsequently by NEA for her efforts.

Westerly, RI resident and parents advocate Bob Chiaradio puts a spotlight on the back door funding to install artificial turf for Augeri field. The taxpayers had already rejected the project but the town and school committees each coughed up $500K without taxpayer approval. Public fundraising attempts have brought in an additional $1ooK bringing the total to $1.1M for the proposed $1.4M needed. No matter how the avenues taken to pay for this project, the Westerly taxpayers will foot the bill and pay for a project they’ve rejected. Bob calls for the resignations of former school committee chair Diane Bowdy for allegedly keeping secret the funding plans for Augeri Field, Superintendent Garceau and Assistant Superintendent over performance issues and failure to advance education scores in the public school system.

Bob Chiaradio spoke at a Westerly, RI school committee meeting where agenda items are open to public comment. Mr. Chiaradio listed four items of concern to the committee that seem to be hold public sentiment with disdain and reckless ignorance. 1. Request the number of students exiting the Westerly public school system per month 2. Certain items under the forum policy 1032 are unenforceable per RI Statute 16-2-9 as an attempt to control, limit or forbid what is spoken at the podium during public forum based on subject conveyance of what’s considered truth, facts or valid opinion 3. A compromise of leaving the public forum at five minutes each for agenda and open public forum 4. Questionable funding tactics for laying down artificial turf for the high school field. The public voted down such a measure but the attempts to fundraise mirror the public’s disdain for the project. The town and school committees each kicked in $500K using taxpayer funds for a project that was rejected by public vote.
