STATE POLICE WILL INVESTIGATE MONTANARO FREE TUITION

One guy you don't want knocking on your door is Emmy Award winning investigative reporter Tim White of Eyewitness News. Just ask former RI State rep John "No Story Here" Carnevale. The RI State Police have confirmed they've opened an investigation into how top State House staffer Frank Montanaro got $50,000 in free tuition from his old job after going to work for House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello. Target 12 reported last month Montanaro spent three years on unpaid leave from his old position at RIC and used his status to grab the free tuition. After a couple of weeks on contgrovery, and Traget 12's discovery he claimed NOT TO BE ON LEAVE when seeking the tuition, Montanaro said he'd repay the money. Montanaro and RIC have both refused to release the documents that show who approved the arrangement. Why? If everything's above board, why the lack of transparency? RI GOP Chair Brandon Bell quickly renewed his call for Matiello to can Montanaro after learning about the legal probe. That's a bit of a jump to Napoleonic justice, guilty until proven innocent. Me, I'll wait and see,
