These are the kind of issues the state & local government we pay should rectify. I understand that even the businesses are having issues with the downturn, but to just close their doors. If an individual had done something like this,even at a smaller magnitude,they would be arrested and thrown in jail. These companies can close their doors file bankruptcy and re-open under another name. It's just not right!

Do You Think the Rhode Island General Assembly Will Fix the Budget Deficit?

  • HA! No, they're going to chase their tails and point fingers and get nothing done. Business as usual.
  • I think some progress can be made. It's going to take some painful cuts and creativity, but we can do this.
