Kalus and McKee Battle With Dueling Press Conferences
Wednesday, October 19, 2022
On Wednesday, Ashley Kalus, the Republican nominee for Governor, will host holding a press conference at which former Rhode Island Supreme Court Justice and now corporate lawyer Bob Flanders is scheduled to present “the case as to why Ashley’s plan to roll back the 47% rate hike on electricity and collection of the 4.2% Gross Receipts Tax is legally sound.”
McKee has disputed that Kalus’s plan is legal.
