My vision for a better Rhode Island starts with a simple idea - we are all in this together.
I want to show two things. One, that Democrats can solve big problems and get things done. And two, that as a public official, you can make tough choices, do the right things for the right reasons, and upset some people. And still get elected.
We have to slowly, carefully, and thoughtfully align all of our interests.
I respect public employees and school teachers. They deserve a secure retirement.
I think the Founding Fathers probably knew what they were doing in setting up the government to have a healthy tension between the executive branch and the legislative branch.
What we have to do is support business, but also support our workers with job training programs and with reasonable wages.
