The residents of District 12 have seen their State Representative in handcuffs for a second time.

It's time that Joseph Almeida resign his State Representative Seat after being arrested by the State Police on Tuesday, February 10th, 2015. While he focuses on staying out of jail, he can't possibly focus on representing the residents of District 12 the way they deserve to be represented, and as a result he should step down and allow someone new to lead Providence away from the corrupt political atmosphere that continues to plague our beautiful State.
