Dangerous R.I. criminal to live, work in Boston

It's hard to believe it's been something like 64 months since former Providence Mayor Vincent "Buddy" Cianci went to jail, but here we are. Seems like he just went in. To me, anyway. It probably seems longer to him.

So what will Buddy do upon his release? He's going to work in sales and marketing at a swank Boston hotel known as XV Beacon, while living at a Boston halfway house. "He's going to have an office right inside the hotel," gushes the spokesmen for a long litany of people who've done something wrong, George Regan. My guess is that office will be in the back room.

I hope they give him a stove so he can still sell his sauce.

And what about the criminal enterprise he used to run out of Providence City Hall? When does that start back up? (As if it ever stopped.)
