PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Buddy Cianci, the former mayor of Providence who presided over the city's revitalization during two stints in office cut short by criminal charges and prison, returned to City Hall on Saturday, lying in repose outside the office he occupied for more than 21 years. At the start of his wake, the line of mourners stretched down the block outside City Hall as residents waited to pay their respects to Cianci. Former Mayor Joseph Paolino, Cianci's close friend and onetime bitter political rival, said many dignitaries had stopped by, including former Mayor Angel Tavares, House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello and current Mayor Jorge Elorza, to whom Cianci lost a 2014 comeback bid for mayor. After serving 4 1/2 years in prison, he resumed a career as a radio talk-show host and TV commentator.
