Message: From GoLocalProv by Guest MINDSETTER™ Tony Santos: The “political mugging” inflicted by Smith Hill Leadership on those opposing RhodeWorks is everything we’ve come to know of governance in a “Banana Republic." Despite overwhelming opposition and protest by business and the electorate to scrap this $300 Million Economic and Constitutional Juggernaut, leadership on The Hill rammed this thru with unprecedented force and speed, weeks not months. The legislative outcome of RhodeWorks 3.0 was engineered and orchestrated well before the bill hit the chamber floor. The open hostility on the part of veteran lawmakers affirms the electorate has more to fear from leadership than any law they could ram thru the legislative process without our consent. Alexis de Tocqueville (1835 Democracy in America) would have branded their abuse of power and political intimidation of individuals in the public and private sectors as “Soft Tyranny.” http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/guest-mindsetter-santos-rhodeworks-ri-a-constitutional-pandoras-box
