From what I hear... Cianci still is liked by many in Providence. They credit him for the major face-lift it went through.

That's what I've heard.

Below:
An old cartoon of John DePetro riding a WHJJ bus (his former station); note Buddy Cianci in lower left corner (and Imus just above him). I guess DePetro was a bit of a muckraker with regards to Buddy and "PlunderDome". I don't know much about all that (am in Boston area) but one of these days I'll have to check out a book about it ("Prince of Providence", I think it's called).

DePetro calls himself "the Independent Man" after the statue on top of the R.I. State House.
