The two candidates vying for the Republican nomination in the Sept. 10 mayoral primary in Cranston traded allegations of corruption and debated the finer points of education, homelessness, and the fate of the city’s storied recreational pool on Aug. 26.
Nearly 100 people attended the event as the contentious race between incumbent Mayor Ken Hopkins and the challenger, state Rep. Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung, moved into the home stretch.
The debate was held in the Cranston Public Library’s main branch. It was moderated by John Howell. Isabella Jibillian and Ian Donnis of Rhode Island PBS and The Public’s Radio joined Rory Schuler of the Cranston Herald as panelists.
