NOW COMPOUND THAT FEE PROBLEM WITH THE DISCLOSURE ISSUE ANDYOU HAVE A SYSTEM RIPE FOR FRAUD AND MISMANAGEMENT.
HEDGE FUNDS DO NOT DISCLOSE FEES OR THE CURRENT REAL VALUE OF THE INVESTMENTS.
CAN YOU SAY BERNIE MADOFF, GINA RAMINDO, TAVERAS.
PONZI SCAMS ARE BUILT ON NON DISCLOSURE

CAN WE AT LEAST ALL AGREE THAT WE ALL SHOULD HAVE TOTAL FEE DISCLOSURES AS TO WHAT THESE FUNDS ARE ACTUALLY PAYING OUT EVERY QUARTER IN EACH YEAR?

This is a great Article to show you HOW DEVASTATING FEES ARE TO RETURNS.
These are fees that are tiny,and small compared to HEDGE FUNDS.
BUT THE CONCEPT IS THE SAME. IT RIPS OFF YOUR RETURN.

Got this from the Yale School of Medicine web page regarding the Comer School Development Program (SDP)."Over the past 40 plus years numerous schools have used SDP to similarly close the achievement gap. The SDP model has been implemented in more than 1000 schools in 26 American states, the District of Columbia, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, England, and Ireland."
Not quite 80,000. Does anyone fact check anymore?

mgObviously you reading comprehension is lacking.
I have corrected KATY with the hard Data and numbers to back up the
reality. Maybe you should try reading all of the comments not just the Republican ones who might support your election, if you are one in the same.
By the way KATY admits she has no factual data IE: real hard numbers on the RHODE ISLAND HEDGE FUND FIASCO.
Second she has mixed up the PROVIDENCE System with the RI STATE Systyem.
Two seperate systems two different consultants.
But your reality is your reality.

MGP. S.
THe one fact she has right is the TAVERAS ADMIISTRATION AS WELL AS OTHERS HAVE BADLY UNDERFUNDED THE PENSIONS THAT HAS CAUSED THIS MANUFACTURED PENSION ISSUE.
It is not the benefits it is the fact PROMISES AND CONTRACTS WERE
MADE and now some want to reneg on those promises.
From: Half of RI Renters Spend Over 30% of Income on Rent

So what? I bet most RI homeowners spend well over 30% of their income on combined costs of mortgage, property taxes, maintenance, etc. Somehow it's only the renters that we must cry for when they have to pay their 30%? I own one condo in Warwich and I rent it to a very nice couple. I am sure the rent is 30% or more of their income. I have to charge as much as I do because the city of Warwick keeps on asking me for more and more property tax, ignoring the fact that the value of the condo has been cut by about 50% since I bought it. I am sorry renters have to pay 30% like the rest of us, but most landlords are barely covering their costs (or not taking a loss as I am) due to the very high property taxes in RI. A better idea than subsidized entitlement housing is to lower the property tax and bring more businesses into RI. That is how you create affordable housing, not by adding more entitlement programs that only make property taxes go higher. This state is sooo backwards.From: Bi-Weekly Paycheck Legislation Gets Pushback From Employees

I haven't been paid weekly since college. Like the politician said if people on social security can budget for a month workers can budget for 2 weeks.From: Bi-Weekly Paycheck Legislation Gets Pushback From Employees

Seriously? Don't most companies already pay bi-weekly anyway? I don't think I have ever had a job that paid me every week? Are people really that irresponsible that they can't budget for two weeks and need to get paid every week?? It's still the same amount of money. Unreal. Yet another instance where government has no right being involved in. Leave it up to the employer's discretion.From: Half of RI Renters Spend Over 30% of Income on Rent

Total mistake. Why not mention that home owners spend probably more than 30% of their income on their mortgage, utilities, taxes and other living expenses like landscaping? All these "intervention" programs to get less fortunate people into housing just drives up the prices. When you have the gov't paying $600/mo for people to live in an apartment via section 8, now you bring up the cost of that house, hence raising the bills for the buyer. That drives up the price on houses without section 8 either because Realtors use "comps" when pricing houses. So now the multifamily homes cost more, hence the rent has to go up. We have to come up with a completely different alternative from artificially raising house prices subsidized by section 8 housing.From: Half of RI Renters Spend Over 30% of Income on Rent

As a landlord I will say that one of the reasons that rents are higher than they should be is because of the laws in RI that favor the renter. I had a couple renting a unit and I only raised their rent $75 over 13 years during which the price of heating oil (which I paid for) exploded. I did everything I could and the rent should have been much higher. They were paying $650 a month for a 3 bedroom unit with heat included. I was actually starting to lose money but they just couldn't afford it. I eventually had to ask them to move, but their attorney told them not to move and not to pay any more rent. In RI a renter can stay there and continue to appeal the eviction for several months without paying rent. When the system finally forces them to leave, they are not required to pay any rent incurred during the previous 4 months or so. I know there are crappy landlords, but I am not one of them. Until things change where renters can't continue to stay somewhere for months without paying for rent, landlords will have to protect their interests by charging more for rent that they actually need.From: Newport Manners + Etiquette: Graduation Etiquette

Do so and the kids will fail the tests and the Kommisar will fire your teachers and turn you over to charter management.Maybe, someone needs to start a separate charter school where those kids needing that level of attention can go to receive the support they need without taking away from the education of the other students that don't require that level of social support.
Maybe, browbeating and claiming that the teachers are failing is not the answer. Maybe the answer is designing schools to group students according to their needs and addressing those needs. Stop trying to have everyone attain the same outcomes and start working to develop each individual child for what they can become.

Exposures of questionable contributions to President Nixon's re-election campaign and one of his relatively small income-tax payments won Pulitzer Prizes for national reporting yesterday. The awards were announced for the 58th years in a row.Prizes of $1,000 each went to James R. Polk, of The Washington Star-News, for stories that, among other things, disclosed a secret $200,000 campaign contribution by the financier Robert L. Vesco and to Jack White, of The Providence Journal-Bulletin, who disclosed President Nixon's 1970 and 1971 tax returns; the disclosures led eventually to back tax payments by the President.

Delusional as a comment is not, "Dr." Z, filled with hate. It is merely an observation about the nonsensical opinions spewed forth by the denizens of GoLoCoProv. I had hoped it might be a replacement for the Journal when it was a good media outlet. I find Go Local, for the most part, lacking in content, but it'd always amusing to see what the crazies write.From: Jean Ann Guliano: What Gist’s Supporters Are Forgetting—Students
