I live a few hundred yards from the MA boarder. Except for the old "Rhode island Born and Rhode Island Bread" mentality , I see little keeping me from moving just across that boarder at some point. The user fees 9taxation without representation) are getting rediculous here and I know lots of people who are wondering why we should stick around and get pooned because the state can't manage money.
One classic example is that the whole state of RI has about as many schhool children as the city of detroit. Detroit pays one mayor and one school superintendent. RI needs about 40 mayors and superintendents for the same number of students. Whats's wrong with this picture?
Anyway , to the posed question ....RI is gods country , a most beautiful place , but unless you have Gods money , stay away , at least for the next few years.
