  1. here’s he chort course for the governor. Interview the people who have left RI due to the poor business climate, low paying jobs, inability to have their children live in state for lack of opportunity, high taxes, decaying infrastructure and over regulation of evrything needed to have economic and personal freedom.

    Or he can just stand on the border with Mass and stop random cars following movng vans north
