Have Rhode Islanders finally had “ENOUGH”?
Were you surprised, as were many, that the RI Tea Party would attract over 2000 energetic people who want to be recognized? What a great event for the taxpayers of Rhode Island. Now the question is where do we go from here to keep these people motivated until the next election. We have made our voices HEARD, but ultimately we have to make them COUNT.
Here’s an excellent opportunity to KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING! Operation Clean Government is sponsoring a Public Affairs Forum on Saturday morning, 8:45 – 11:45, April 25th at the Quonset “O” Club for breakfast and a provocative discussion on our sick state economy - Rx for Rhode Island: Restoring Our Fiscal Health.
This is a great opportunity to continue the discussion, learn the facts, network and organize. It will be a rare chance to meet state officials, economists, and Rhode Island business people, and ask questions letting them know what you care about.
Dan Yorke, 6:30 WPRO/99.7FM will moderate the discussion. Panelists include:
Frank Caprio, General Treasurer, Gary Sasse, Director, Department of Administration,
Rep.Elizabeth Dennigan, seven year member of the powerful House Finance Committee,
Dr. Leonard Lardaro, URI Economics Professor and
John Hazen White, Jr., CEO/President Taco, Inc. who is the creator of LOOKOUT, a TV program and newspaper column that offers insightful commentary on RI’s economy and politics.
Reserve now - $20 per person – online ocgri.org or call 861-3900 to continue this movement of concerned citizens who want to be represented.
