Bill Bartholomew reacts to the news that Johnston mayor Joe Polisena, Jr. is asking the town to grant him permission to declare eminent domain on a parcel of land that was slated for an affordable housing complex, instead moving to construct a new municipal on the site.  The affordable housing project was the subject of controversial comments made by a member of the town's planning board late last year, when the member suggested that the project would be the "future Chad Brown of Johnston", referring to the Chad Brown neighborhood in Providence that is often belittled as a hub of crime and poverty.
