The Rhode Island State Police will investigate the alleged parking ticket scandal in Cranston. Mayor Allan Fung says he asked the state police to step-in based on new allegations that have surfaced and to strengthen public confidence in the investigation. Last month two City Councilman said their districts were targeted in a parking ticket blitz because they voted against a labor contract that the city's police union supported. Mayor Fung says the tickets in question in those wards will be dismissed.
