Is he going to be the RI scrooge of 2009? Not sure of what he will propose, but am sure it is going to really bite us in the butt. The legislators are going to potect their turf and special interests and we take and pay for the results. Maybe time to speak up and join a group.

Lots of job cuts-looks like some tough battles this year, and will it be better or worse?

After we have now had lots of time to think about the speech-

So what do you think of all the proposals like pension colas gone, no minimum manning for fire and police..? Sounds like we need to see whether 1 million bucks plus of overtime is a safety issue or a make work issue?

Anything that you like in his proposals?

We can chat on the 25th at the party...supposed to be cool that day, so this may heat up the party too.

Carcieri sees no problems and now they are farming out surgeries to the cheapest bidder...cool. Has he cut his staff and their salaries yet?

Sasse moves to administartion giving up on the revenue post so what;s next in the hopscotch game?
