PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Lt. Governor Daniel J. McKee issued the following statement Thursday on the death of Buddy Cianci:
"I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mayor Buddy Cianci, who for so long has been a fixture in Providence, a city he truly loved. The Mayor lifted Providence up in many ways, overseeing its renaissance in the 1990s, and the capital would not be the same but for him. I send my condolences to his family and friends."
