Message: From GoLocalProv by Anthony Faccenda, GoLocalProv News Contributor: This week's State Report centers on two stories sure to interest the average Rhode Islander. First, Rep. Jan Malik is calling for an end to the state's sales tax, which would provide consumers with some much-needed monetary relief. Also, Rep. Deborah Ruggerio is looking to give citizens a 25 percent tax break on renewable energy systems by reinstating Rhode Island's renewable energy tax credit. Also on the docket this week is an update on the state purchase of Rocky Point Amusement Park and a proposed ban on plastic bags at the checkout counter. And lastly, former Central Falls Charles Moreau has been sentenced for his role in a corruption scheme.
