Thanks, Chris.

The biggest problems in RI are nepotism and xenophobia- relatives& friends get hired and RI's isolationist economic policies and union control keep the best and brightest from being providers.

The smallest State has some of the highest government costs per capita, yet we continue to wonder where the benefits are, and what happened to the money.

RI also has a very shallow pool of talent in government, from the Governor's office down- it would be useful to "change the filter" on Election Day more frequently.

As long as voters don't demand better and have higher expectations, they'll continue to get the same thing; as the saying goes, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over and expecting different results."

Election Day results in RI are like getting your foot out of a bear trap and sticking your other foot in to make sure the trap still works.

I couldn't stand it anymore and left 9 years ago- I have no regrets.
