Political Roundtable: Smiley on his campaign, schools, taxes, public safety and more

Brett Smiley joins Political Roundtable this week to discuss his campaign as one of four Democrats running to the next mayor of Providence.

The others are Gonzalo Cuervo, Nirva LaFortune, and Mike Solomon.

Topics in the interview include:

— Whether Smiley can make more progress on familiar problems than past mayors;

— How he would seek to hold the state accountable on the takeover of the Providence schools;

— Whether more competition on the East Side will complicate his path to victory;

— How Smiley would try to create a more equitable approach to economic development;

and much more.
