How fitting, the last three comments by the three amigos-Dan Gordon, Joe Sousa, and Jack Baillargeron. Thank goodnss Gordon and Sousa were voted out of office, and Baillargeron is too stupid to run.

Perhaps the state of Rhode Island could save some money by firing all of those legislators.

Does one city have to have so many representatives? Big Government in "Little Rhody" does not make a whole lot of sense.
