According to CBS 12 in Providence, tensions between Governor Dan McKee and Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza reached a boiling point Wednesday ahead of what was supposed to be a celebratory event for the return of one of the capital city’s most popular events.

Elorza and McKee were both attending a ceremonial lighting of the Waterfire basins along the Providence river as the organization announced the downtown art installation’s return.

During the confrontation, Elorza can be seen pointing his finger at McKee and yelling “you’ve got to face the community on this.” Elorza confirmed he was trying to discuss the impending providence teachers contract with McKee. Mayor Elorza explained to CBS 12 that this needs to be discussed.
