Minority Whip Filippi Floats “Better” PawSox Plan
Wednesday, September 06, 2017
Rhode Island Republican State Representative Blake Filippi -- who serves as the House Minority Whip -- spoke to his opposition to the current PawSox 'deal' at the center of Senate Finance Committee hearings this fall, and what he sees as a more viable alternative.
Filippi also addressed the Trump Administration's rescinding DACA, and how he sees the current political climate as putting power back in the hands of states -- and not the federal government.
