We need to create jobs for the unemployed, but no more than that. The nationwide marketing plan discussed by Governor Carcieri for Quonset would create many more jobs than we have unemployed. The top jobs for new companies are filled by people who already work for the company and would be moved in. The remaining jobs might be filled by the unemployed. Where would the people come from to fill jobs above what are available here? They would have to move here, also.
We are already the second most densely populated state, after New Jersey. Are we going for number one? Our state is becoming too crowded; let's stop growth.
It has become popular for politicians to promote growth. I'll vote for anyone who says no more growth for Rhode Island.
