State Rep. Brian Chirichiello

This morning Rich interviewed former Derry Town Councillor Brian Chirichiello, who wanted to come on the show to share his side on the Derry budget battle (Click here for Mark Osborne’s interview from last week)!

Brian talked about the budget cuts, which he maintains are not in Derry’s best interest.  He discussed with Rich the tax cap in Derry, and how it stands next to Manchester’s.
