Your six minutes were wise and perceptive, and those photos were great! Would you be interested in helping to reverse those trends in our city and state? The Contract with Rhode Island is a proposal to do that. Here's a link: drive.google.com/file/d/1F9pR...

We need to add customers, expand into new markets, earn more revenue, and improve operations to increase the value of our business and ensure its longterm success.

The business of state government is providing essential public services, and it if we want it to be successful, we need to do what all successful business do, which is grow.

Democrats had four years to put the Republicans who coordinated January 6 in prison but didn’t, and now we have death squads. What else will their inaction allow?

There’s an election coming. Who will step up to replace Reed, Magaziner, and Amo and fight like our lives depend on it?

And here are some of the benefits we expect we’ll get:

• grow our economy
• generate more revenue
• create an emergency reserve
• lower energy prices
• keep the power on
• stop climate change from becoming costlier

We desperately need our legislators to stop dawdling, do more than talk, and start fixing Rhode Island’s problems.

That’s why we need to elect New Democrats who have the passion and drive to fix things, including our General Assembly. 3/3

3) Institute four-year terms for the legislature;
4)  Have term limits of two (four-year) terms;
5) Give the governor a line item veto authority; and
6) Earmark all revenues generated by increases in taxes or fees to investment-oriented uses. 2/3

This is standard operating procedure for our part-time General Assembly.

Move slowly on problems, and putter around the margins making small tweaks and adjustments that solve nothing.

This time, that strategy will lead to disaster. 2/2
