Happy Tax Day!
Proposed legislation would prioritize the well-being of more than one million Rhode Islanders over the continued benefit of about 5,700 tax filers — the top 1% — by creating a 3% surtax on income above $625,000 (after all deductions).

‘Like someone had punched me in my gut’: In Johnston, R.I., property owners fight back against eminent domain - The Boston Globe
The owners want to build 252 units of affordable housing. Officials moved to take the property by eminent domain for a new Town Hall and police and fire stations, instead.

Not only is Rhode Island’s 30-day voter registration deadline an antiquated relic of decades past, but it is the most restrictive deadline in the nation. It is time to let Rhode Islanders vote to eliminate the deadline. Tell the RI House of Reps to support H-5515! tinyurl.com/letrivotepetition
