Division of Planning to Address House Committee on RhodeMap RI Plan
Thursday, April 09, 2015
Kevin Flynn, Associate Director of the state's Division of Planning, will testify in front of the House Committee on Oversight at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon in room 101 at the State House. Flynn is expected to answer questions on the new and controversial RhodeMap RI plan.
"Finally, the public will hear from the architect of this scheme, who, to date, has not been publicly questioned or held accountable for his actions," commented Mike Stenhouse, CEO for the RI Center for Freedom and Prosperity.
RhodeMap RI's economic development plan was adopted into Rhode Island's official "Guide Plan" in December of 2014 by un-elected bureaucrats without any public debate.
