The Fall River City Council is in a tough position. Mayor Jasiel Correia II has been indicted on multiple federal charges and is refusing to step aside.

Fall River Mayor Correia gave a tremendous press conference today. The more I see of this young man, the more he strikes me as a special kind of politician.

Attorney Kevin Reddington is once again representing a sitting Fall River Mayor in a criminal case. And Mayor Jasiel Correia is involved in both cases.
