He is risen! Wishing everyone a joyful and blessed Easter, from our family to yours!

You raise a good point. My objective here is to suggest a road map for the RIGA to exercise informed due diligence in making a decision when they have been inundated with information from advocates.
John Lusi@JFLusi
@gssasse Respectfully, @gssasse, your article ends with seven straight questions but no answers. Given your deep experience in Rhode Island tax policy, if you’re unwilling to get the facts and propose solutions, who will?

RIGA should avoid river boat gambles making tax policy sea changes until they get the facts and deal with economic uncertainties. Follow the link below to view the article.
RI lawmakers should get the facts before tax changes

@RobertAWalshJr Good point. What may be different is @GovDanMcKee has a record which doesn’t poll well, and people may be looking for something different, and the GOP candidate may not have the experience and resources to be competitive
English
@RobertAWalshJr What if GOP endorsed and McKee is the D candidate. Would that be history repeating? Seems people are looking for change?
English
Surprising he knows better.

This is the mayor who demanded this mural come down.
English
Who would want to invest in a City who lack respect for a slain woman. There will be economic and reputatijnal consequences.
Bonchie@bonchieredstate
He cites people wanting to be “safe” as a reason to destroy a mural on a private building meant to honor a murdered woman. You can’t imagine how crazy Democrats are in these blue bastions. You think what you see on MSNBC is nuts? It’s even worse in their bubble cities.
English
His biased political correctness will have a damping effect on people who want to invest in Providence.

@PVDMayor Brett Smiley is a utter embarrassment

Trump has to hit 300 to make fundamental changes.

Big day on the legal front. Three separate judges rule against Trump in three separate cases involving his ballroom, his public broadcast cutbacks and his immigration crackdown while he wins in another case in front of a fourth judge on his campaign against elite universities.
English
PVD Mayor is telling potential investors not to consider Providence if they are not politically correct in his opinion. With this approach to governing the economic future of RI’s Capitol City should be if concern.
Jonathan Turley@JonathanTurley
...The mayor of Providence, Democrat Brett P. Smiley, also spoke out against the mural as "divisive." It is not just breathtaking but heartbreaking to see how even acknowledging victims is now considered triggering for many on the left.

RI shown to have 10th highest tax burden among 50 states. Will RIGA and Governor increase it? Tax Burden by State in 2026. R wallethub.com/edu/states-wit…

BREAKING: In NYC at the “No Kings” rally, demonstrators waved Communist flags.
No kings, but yes Communist dictators.
English
Former Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza – hardly a conservative firebrand – is calling on Democratic governors to opt in to the new federal school choice program. Will @GovDanMcKee stay true to his roots? Or, has his souls been sold to the unions for eternity?

R.I. Department of Administration officials are trying to sort out a $220,000 payment error that resulted in 9,000 state workers receiving union dues rather than those funds going directly to their labor groups. wpri.com/target-12/stat…

Based on @CommerceRISecretary performance at both Commerce and Housing the RIGA must determine his fitness before confirming.
Nancy Lavin@NancyKLavin
Since August, @CommerceRI Secretary Stefan Pryor has spearheaded the state’s economic development strategy. But his legal authority remains in question without Senate confirmation rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/03/25/sec…
English
Based on past performance at Commerce and Housing there are questions about this nominees fitness to have a second term at Commerce.

Being a member of the RIGA does not an automatic disqualification from serving in the RI Supreme Court. Nominees should be judged on their competence and qualifications. The Speaker is clearly a qualified potential member of the Supreme Court.

Yelnosky spent decades writing about merit selection. In 2013, he said the ABA excluded categories of lawyers from its ratings committee. He wants Shekarchi excluded before the process begins. Merit selection is American. Exclusion by category is not. This is politics cross-dressing as scholarship.
