I know we got off the main subject somewhat but Im just amazed at how this state operates!!
Imagine approving a bond and then deciding no and still have to pay for it???
Rhode Islanders are extrememly resistant to any knid of change that will bring us into the 21st century.
I love open space,dont get me wrong but I also realize that where a buissnes could go is now just open land and I along with every other person has to pay higher taxes to keep that land open,so whats the use in complaining??
The best example I know of is the casino,I know thousands of rhode islanders cross over into CT With there rhode island earned money and spend millons in that stae helping them out.But, put a casino here? No way!! Why let us get the tax break? we can afford to be taxed to death? give our money to conneticut!! I feel bad for the native indians here not being able to start a profitable buissness because of selfeshness.It was there land in the first place??
How many people in south county depend on the industry in providence for there livelyhoods!! yet, try to put a buisness there and you get tared and featherd! "As long its not in my backyard" Why should they be different than any other rhode islander?? They tend to think that south county is another planet and there somehow better than us,Funny its only 20minutes away??
I just look at things different now that I have a family,Im more open to things,anything that can save me tax dollars is something I now take a close look at.
Take at look at your host JohnR,As an example,Lets say he makes 50000 per year in MA, In rhody the same job would only pay 30000. (I have no idea what he makes) Just an example.
This state needs a shot in the arm and definatly needs more buisness here.
I realize its a small state and can only handle so much,But some cahnges are needed in the way rhode islanders think.
