Will the last person leaving Rhode Island please turn off the Democrats

My home State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations is under the foot of the unions and the Democratic politicians they control. This tiny beautiful state is politically pathetic, with a voting death grip on big goverment. It's a death spiral, as witnessed by the...
