Cranston's new mayor keeps public works director

CRANSTON -- Democratic Mayor Michael T. Napolitano will not replace Public Works Director Marco Schiappa, the first member of former Republican Mayor Stephen P. Laffey's administration that he has officially retained.

Napolitano has moved rapidly to dismiss most of Laffey's former top aides, including Finance Director Jerome I. Baron, who Laffey had praised as a principal architect of the city's fiscal turnaround that Laffey engineered.
