Let's see if I've got this right: During the week of June 13, members of the Rhode Island General Assembly voted to legalize the smoking of marijuana. They voted against arresting prostitutes who work inside a building. They voted to unionize child-care providers, even though the program that we have is costing the state over $80 million a year. And, finally, they entertained a proposal to charge all full-time college students in the state $100 per semester, even though the cost of education is at an all-time high.
What a week! I can't wait to see what our senators and representatives vote on next.
Do you think it might be time to elect some new people to represent the taxpayers of Rhode Island? If this were not so absurd, it would be funny.
