Sorry Senator Sheldon Whitehouse your definition of the root cause & companion mitigation steps falls far short of the mark. The problem here in RI goes much deeper than the POTUS Bill Clinton policies that shipped most mfg jobs overseas (the great sucking sound)..

Yes, the state of RI has an odor best associated with low tide emitted from especially the RI General Assembly on Smith Hill in Providence RI.

Yes nefarious associations and RICO like behaviors that subject tax payer, employees & business to a shakedown where the connected get a taste is well know and acknowledged across the nation. Yes, such a brand of State Wide & companion national totalitarian socialism sends people with ideas and money beyond the reach of day to day corruption, incompetence and malfeasance. Honest Abe Lincoln gave us a caution of avoiding the exact set of (aka community organizers) devious behaviors that RI (and the Federal Government POTUS) has become infamous for. The solution must come from informed voters utilizing adult critical thinking tools to determine their vote at the next November elections. Only then can the RI & national economy move towards returning to wealth creation and a shared prosperity via work fare instead of an open ended welfare delivery industry.
