    Scandalous…………

    I just landed a new job–Guess what? It’s not in RI, but MA.

    I go to school in Ma, shop in Ma, go to church in MA & now have a job in MA….

    Next step? I guess to move there!

    RI will soon just be made up of state workers, illegal aliens, poverty pimps and the elderly!
