Congressman Jim Langevin (D-RI) launched his Lunch with Langevin program in March in the hopes of engaging Rhode Islanders and getting feedback on the issues that are important to them. Each quarter, Langevin holds open office hours at a restaurant in the Second District, and constituents are invited to come and share their questions or concerns in an informal setting.
“I rely on input from constituents in the Second Congressional District, and these Lunch with Langevin events provide an opportunity for me to meet with Rhode Islanders and have a candid conversation about the issues that affect them,” said Langevin. “In addition to discussing policy and legislation, members of my staff will be available to meet with anyone who is having a constituent affairs problem that we might be able to assist with. I encourage all of my constituents to attend.”
The first Lunch with Langevin was held in Coventry, and this month moves to Narragansett. The event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be provided. Langevin will hold his next lunch Saturday, June 21 from noon to 2 p.m. at Twin Willows Restaurant, 865 Boston Neck Road, Narragansett.

Here's a few suggestions, Jim. 1) Reduce marginal tax brackets in order to allow producers to keep more of what they earn. 2) Reduce capital gains taxes that prevent people from selling highly appreciated assets. 3) Eliminate idiotic regulations that strangle businesses, starting with those at the EPA and FDA, and progressing nicely to the Labor Dept. That should keep you busy for at least a few weeks, though I'm not optimistic.
