Johnston mayor to deliver state of the town address

Johnston Mayor William R. Macera plans to make his seventh annual state of the town address at 7 tonight in the Johnston Municipal Court.

In this election year, there’s plenty to talk about in Johnston. As Donald Trump is seeking to bring a casino to town, the Town Council is poised to meet tomorrow at 7 p.m. in the Municipal Court to consider ratifying a “letter of intent” related to the gaming proposal.

Town and school leaders also face a school deficit, at a time when the high school just got word that it will maintain its accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. The school had fought since July to convince the association not to pull its accreditation.

Macera’s talk will be televised on Cox Cable at a date to be set. Residents can call the mayor’s office, at 553-8800, next week to find out when it will air.

The talk will also be posted on the town’s Web page tomorrow.
