Quick updates on 38 Studios, Chafee’s presser, self-promotion
May 25th, 2012 at 2:40 pm by Ted Nesi under Nesi's Notes
There hasn’t been much in the way of new developments surrounding 38 Studios so far today – watch our noon newscast report for updates. But we are working new tips as they come into the WPRI 12 newsroom.
WPRI.com will stream Governor Chafee’s 4:30 p.m. news conference live on our website if you want to watch.
Also, I just taped an interview with Kay Ryssdal for tonight’s edition of “Marketplace” about the 38 Studios situation. That will air locally at 6:30 p.m. on Rhode Island Public Radio; you can listen live here.
Elsewhere, read Alexander Sliwinski’s Joystiq editorial about how 38 Studios employees apparently had no idea what was coming just last week. For a very different view from what people may be saying here right now, read this from Forbes: “Don’t Let 38 Studios Sour You: Video Games Are Good for Your State’s Economy.” And Timothy Loew of the Massachusetts Digital Games Institute argues the Bay State needs to avoid schadenfreude.

Ted, now the issue is what are the consequences of the EDC towards how Rhode Island and it people are percieved by the business community. I don’t know if the majority of Rhode Islanders know that this fiasco, is known all over the world in the business community. No ethical business people will even consider setting any type of business operations in Rhode Island.
What Rhode Island needs is a turnover in the General ASSembly and the State Senate. I also know this will not happen, the people of Rhode Island are addicted to government money. Since the above won’t happen lets see if the elected officals of Rhode Island can grasp the concept, when taxes and regulations are antibusiness, high quality businesses don’t want to set up operations in your jurisdiction. What elected officals need to do because the new fiscal year is cur spending, that means when all these over generous public sector employee contracts expire, make these contract realistic no more giving away the store, that also includes the education budget. Start by allocating a set dollar amount of the education to every child and allow parents to choose what schools their kids go to, then start reducing the amount of public school teachers. Reduce the abuse and fraud of the social services, fire social workers, stop being the parasite magnet for every welfare case in the country. Elminate all stupid filing fees for business, for example every business in Rhode Island are extorted $500 just to operate a business in Rhode Island. Elminate the car tax another extortion. There are so many other regulations that have to be removed. Zoning boards and zoning laws are another form of extortion.
