Message: From GoLocalProv by Guest MINDSETTER™ Rep. Carlos Tobon: Globalization has hit Rhode Island hard. Those manufacturing jobs that allowed my immigrant parents and generations of other Rhode Islanders the opportunity to raise their families in modest comfort are long gone. It’s not just manufacturing, either. Our state is touted as the calamari capital of the world. Yet, walk into any local supermarket today and you will find packages of frozen calamari from China competing with offerings from Galilee, often at a lower price. Now, we can sit around and lament the impact that globalization has had on our local economy or we can personally change this troubling societal trend by taking a very simple action. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/guest-mindsetter-rep.-tobon-the-benefits-of-buying-locally
