It's funny, but just the other day I was speaking with a friend about the state of the RI economy and it's business climate, confiscatory tax structure, reputation for public corruption and dire need for a better-educated workforce. My friend said: "That may all be true, but you know what we really need? A 'diversity coordinator' for the courts." Rest assured, it will not be long before the 'diversity coordinator' sees a glaring need for...wait for it...an 'assistant diversity coordinator', and eventually a 'diversity department'. When Mr. Baxter talks about a need for job applicants to be "...representative of the diverse Rhode Island population", understand he's not talking about a need for more conservative Catholics.
