Well they have to have something to talk about, no sense being concerned about employment and business development.
RI is a welfare state so go for the government support, we can't do it on our own with the thoughtless people in control.
This is all happening because voters don't get off their fat cans and vote in responsible people.
Cicilline was a disease to Providence for 8 years and now we have him for 4 more years as a congressman. God help us.
