Message: From GoLocalProv by Carol Anne Costa, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: As I write this column the Bryant University's Hassenfeld Institute, which is headed by Golocal mindsetter Gary Sasse, released a poll showing that 82% of Rhode Islanders are unhappy with the state's leadership. It hit the news cycle with a vengeance further confirming some of what we already knew; we are tired, fed up and depressed. The poll is part of a new initiative called Job One: Leadership, sponsored by the Hassenfeld Institute for Public Leadership, the Providence Journal, and RI PBS. The poll also notes that the state's electorate remain down on leadership in almost every category across the board. The numbers feel as depressing as our job market and economy. You can hear Charlie Brown loud and clear, “Good grief.” This new information is just another example of the absolute rut we find ourselves in, as we struggle to find bright spots, innovation and a lifeline for our beloved RI. Still, all that seems to lay ahead is a small dark tunnel; confining, claustrophobic and each day feeling like there is no light at the end and even more like a grave in which we will be buried alive. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/carol-anne-costa-can-rhode-island-emerge-from-its-funk
