The @RISenate is committed to open deliberative process. Interesting. Than why are nonsensical pro @Pawsox talking points, generated by taxpayer paid govt employees, being circulated by Leadership? @LPofRI @RIProgDems @JournalKate @MoniqAR @Vegemini @steveahlquist @KobeEnglish pic.twitter.com/fetAH5oEcv

As Rhode Island's jobless rate has plateaued around 4.2 to 4.3% in the last few months, look at how resident employment has been changing. pic.twitter.com/T0Pn70KVL4

Welcome to #RhodeIsland where we put $$ into private investments while our public schools are crumbling throughout the State, oh & our social service programs are failing too! #playball #swingbatterbattermiss

I would love to weigh in on this, but as a resident of Foster we aren't privileged enough to actually have RIPTA service… maybe some folks in MA & CT – who we extended service to last year in the legislature, can offer their opinions??#FosterISRhodeIsland

JUST IN: National Grid says it will cut its proposed RI rate hike by $25M, mostly thanks to savings from the new federal tax law. Hike would now be $45M, not $71M https://t.co/sOkCU3rg5Y

Who spends the most on highways? We do! Why? We must study our costs so our construction dollars fix more for the same cost. @RIDOTNews @GovRaimondo @RITrucking pic.twitter.com/T4vns7YyUe

This compares to 39% who think RI is going in right direction based on John Della Volpe survey. That all you need to know about the quality of public leadership in the 2 states. https://t.co/41DDBQafqm

Should read "I plan to force the fiscally responsible school districts in RI that have properly maintained their facilities to pay for a bond that will allow the irresponsible school districts in mismanaged towns to fix their own negligence." https://t.co/NmwQ46W7pg

This is constantly getting lost in the noise of debates about schooling, but American schools are not underfunded. They're better funded than their European counterparts. The issue in the US is bad, ineffective spending, not that we don't spend enoughhttps://t.co/cJSslZBSmS

Ah for the days when the smart, knowledgeable people in state government were allowed – and yes, I mean, allowed – to answer media questions. Today has been an especially frustrating day. #taxquestion #roadblocks

Residents of the Northeast are making a big discovery: high state and local taxes aren’t helping anyone, and are actually burdening our families. Pursuing less government is vital for relief. https://t.co/1BshqQSFnR

Consumers pay ALL the costs of doing business. Truckers, therefore, are tax collectors, not tax payers. This is a hidden tax on everything purchased by all struggling families in Rhode Island, unless they buy out of state or online, which is EXACTLY what will happen #RIpoli #RI
