Councilman Farina to Make "Major Announcement"

CRANSTON, RI—City Councilman Michael Farina is set to make a "major announcement" on Tuesday that he said "will allow me to better serve the people who have entrusted me to represent them on the City Council."

Farina, a Democrat, did not elaborate in a brief press release sent out Tuesday morning about exactly what the announcement might be.

Observers of the council over the past few years know that Farina has routinely butted heads with his fellow Democrats on the council and has often complained about being excluded from party strategy sessions.

Farina said that he will be making his announcement this afternoon at 3 3 p.m. at City Hall and will issue a press release afterwards.

In the morning news release, Farina said that his decision "will impact the City of Cranston immediately and throughout the years to come."
