I can't tell you how many times I watch the Pawtucket City Council meetings on Local Access and am amazed that nobody has ever thought of awarding the prestigious "Horses Ass Award" to any of the council members.  There are 9 City Council members, four of whom could easily qualify for the award.  That being said, one stands alone as the biggest horses ass.  Councilman Paul Wildenhaim.  If you get a chance to watch the replay of the June 11th meeting, by all means, catch it.  Here's the scenario in a nut shell.  Courtesy Hyundai had requested a license transfer from Division St. to Newport Ave.  I saw the notice in the Pawtucket Times which plainly advertised a public hearing on June 11th.  Stupid me, evidently, a public hearing is not meant to be a forum for the public to state it's opposition to something that will be moving to their neighborhood.  Just as the entire council was about to grant John Martin, owner of Courtesy Hyundai, his transfer request, Council President Mary Bray noticed two gentlemen who were in opposition to the plan.  These two guys live on Vine St. and are close enough to effected by the daily happenings of this business.  In fact, they had a list of things that ranged from lights from the parking lot that shine in one of their living rooms all night to an intercom system that blares out messages throughout the day and weekends.  Not unreasonable requests in the least.  They even had a petition which looked to have a few pages of neighborhood resident signatures.  All this only managed to infuriate Councilman Wildenhaim.  He shouted at the two constituents that they should have called him prior to the meeting to discuss their concerns.  Look, I guess I have to admit that I know what he's saying.  When they became aware that these issues may have a negative impact on their quality of life, they should have picked up the phone and called their local council representative.  I mean it makes sense.  My issue is that like these two area residents, I wouldn't think that I would need to call my councilman.  I would think that I could just show up to the public hearing and voice my concerns.  If that wasn't the proper procedure, I certainly wouldn't think that my neighborhood representative to the council would scold me.  Dude, Wildenhaim was really upset about this!  At one point, President Bray was begging him to calm down.  It was finally agreed that the two residents would go to conference with Wildenhaim, Martin, and his lawyer, Michael Horan.  But not before Wildenhaim threatened to push the transfer through despite the neighbor's objections.  Cooler heads prevailed and the transfer was finally granted, hopefully to everyone's satisfaction.  Wildenhaim latter attempted to stiff the Police Union out of their pensions and made his usual lame attempts at humor, all of which earned Councilman Paul Wildenhaim the winner of the "Horses Ass".
