'One Insecure, Crazy, Nutty Broad' Is No Way To Talk About A Mayor: Baldelli-Hunt
Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt says a zoning board member should resign after comments he made on a radio program.

WOONSOCKET, RI — Woonsocket Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt is none too happy with Roland Michaud, a City Zoning Board Member. In a press release, her office said he "publicly exhibited the behavior of an uncouth, vulgar, foulmouthed, and chauvinistic sexist male."
At issue is an appearance Michaud made on a local radio show.
"In one rambling, infantile, sexist breakdown on local radio station WNRI, Mr. Michaud recently said in talking about Mayor Baldelli-Hunt, 'she is one insecure, crazy, nutty broad.' He then said, 'she is totally incompetent' and 'she is an incompetent fraud.'"

Baldelli-Hunt is firing back.
“Mr. Michaud owes an apology to every Woonsocket resident, especially women, and I call on the members of the City Council to immediately demand the resignation of Mr. Michaud from the Zoning Board of Review, she said. "Failure to support his resignation will send a clear message to every woman, everywhere, that the members of the City Council condone sexism against all women.”
