Fall River Mayor Jasiel Correia held a press conference Tuesday to officially announce that he will be taking a leave of absence to address his legal issues.
In a democracy, you get the government you deserve. Sleep well in The Rivah; you’ve shamed your city and embarrassed the state for another long holiday season.
The voters of Fall River overwhelmingly rejected Mayor Jasiel Correia II at the ballot box. He now has an opportunity to go out and maybe come back someday.
Candidate Paul Coogan was the clear favorite in the primary with 8,273 votes for 62.3-percent of the unofficial final tally. Correia took home 2,777 votes.
