This report is not unexpected. please go investigate something new. Get some more criminal information about the speaker and the senate president. Let the people of the United States know what type of thieves and squanders Rhode Islanders elected officals really are. A million square feet of vacant commerical and retail space in Providence shows that business don’t trust Rhode Island government and the average voter “knows a guy” who can get him taxpayers money.
Ed your ridiculous. How about you go get some criminal information if you know it’s out there.
John Behavior remains constant over time. Buddy Cianci in office for 2 years. Gordon Fox makes $365K illegally and gets fined $10K. You better open your eyes and stop being so naive about the elected officals of Rhode Island. You sound like a public sector workfare reciepent.
Fox didn’t make that money illegal. He was fined because his business partners worked on the GTECH stuff while he was in the General Assembly. For the seek for transparency he probably should of refrained from any activity that had to do with that bill, but it wasn’t illegal nor is it any different then a small business owner voting for something that would benefit his small business, a teacher who votes on his pension, etc. It is not illegal though. Ed you sound like a miserable human being who for some reason blames all your trouble on other people. Get a life and move out of Rhode Island. We don’t need you or your nonconstructive attitude here.
There is a couple of spelling errors in the above post, but no edit option.
John, I would love to leave this inbred state. Once my assignment is over I will be leaving this fecal hole to you and all your public sector hacks and unethical small business people. When I need a plumber or electrican I will not call any company in RI.
John you lack any type of conflict of interest you must be a third generation Rhode Islander. Were your ancestors some of the illegals that came from Southern Europe in the early 1900s?
I have no idea by what you mean when you say “conflict of interest”. I don’t have any conflicts. As for my family, we are Germans originally from upstate New York. I’m not sure what that has to do with anything. Hopefully when your assignment ends we will no longer have to listen to you banter about things you don’t understand. And you can go to some other state and talk about how much you hate it there.
Ed, I’m not sure why you seem to despise public workers, those who are police, firefighters, transit workers, highway engineers, teachers, park officials, social workers, health inspectors etc We didn’t cause the economic collapse but are victims of it. Perhaps you are duped by the well-funded campaign to discredit public service in order to avoid holding accountable the financial crowd that produces nothing but paper transactions that did crash the economy.
Barry you public sector morons could not work in the private sector and are not worth the money you are paid to do the supposed work you are paid for. Public sector employees benefits are killing the cities and towns of Rhode Island. It will be sooner than later that many you and your brethern will see your pay cut and your benefits cut because the taxpayers have had it and will demand the elected officals take chapter 9. The union leadership and the elected officals are playing a game of chicken and the taxpayers in Rhode Island will say no more and you will finally make the same sacrifice as the people who create wealth. Public sector employees are nothing but punks who have no redeeming value as human beings.
When RI’ers learned the alphabet in school, they got to D and stopped.
