Mr. Wilson-Cogent points all. However, I think you have overlooked a central point to RI's profound under-performance, and that is the current tax structure. Rhode Islanders willingly pay a state income tax and state sales tax for what, exactly? More specifically, what government services to Rhode Islanders receive as a function of paying these taxes that citizens of NH do not receive? Both taxes were introduced as "temporary measures", and have done nothing but increase over time, serving to feed an insatiable government beast. Until RI addresses it's confiscatory tax structure, the state will closely resemble other states from which citizens have fled in the last ten yeas.
