$660M OVERPAYMENT

Click on photo to expend

Choices: $660M OVERPAYMENT to well-compensated international businesses, or tax dollars spent on core government functions here in RI? ​ Tell your Rep/Senator to be good stewards of your tax monies and to vote NO on a no-bid 20 year contract that gives a $660M OVERPAYMENT to Twin River and IGT. ​ We are united in telling leadership to put this contact out to bid and reduce the term length to 10 years max for better oversight.
