not at all impressed with McKee's useless gesture, especially as he didn't indicate what programs he would cut if the fees were reduced, except that he implied even more drastic cuts at RIPTA if they didn't get the gas tax revenue. By the way, despite McKee's claims, gas prices in RI are about the same as MA, sometimes slightly less, and usually lower than CT which in addition to the gas tax has a tax on petroleum. But our bus fares are higher, many bus systems in MA are free (e.g. Worcester, Lawrence...)

The governor again demmonstrates his cluelessness. Raising taxes on the rich to spend on things like RIPTA, healthcare, public health, housing improves the erconomy. I have done extensive research on business cliamtes and other rankings and can clearly demonstrate they are a scam by the rich to keep thier taxes low and allow them to pollute. You can read all abpout it on my blog ProsperityForRI.com

The General Assembly failed the taxpayers and working families once again. So, the Governor throws his hands up and says, oh well!

Everyone up there has got to go!

They ALL are OUT OF TOUCH with the working class. Period! (Excluding Cherie Cruz, Jennifer Stewart)
