Your Rep, Senator and the Governor should be good stewards of taxpayer resources. To OVERPAY the 20 year, No Bid Gaming Contract by $800M is unconscionable. Some want to raise your taxes, when negotiating this contract for a better deal should come first
The current gaming contract is not up until 2023 and the proposed contract is being rushed through the General Assembly full of costly overpayments...to the tune of $1.8B
This "new deal" contains $1.8B in Taxpayer Overpayments to two RI Companies. It is clear we need a competitive bidding process to protect Rhode Islanders. Imagine what we could do with those funds.
The layers of taxpayer overpayments in this "new" insider "deal" are astounding. Marc Crisafulli would be an authority on this matter.
This "new" 20 year insider gaming contract is a terrible "deal" (and actually may be worse than the original). Rhode Islanders Lose ---Big Time.
Please call your Reps, Senators and the Governor and tell them to VOTE NO on this terrible contract.
After two years of scrutiny and substantiated faults in the proposed gaming contract, the "amended" 20 year, no-bid deal revealed today is STILL A BAD DEAL FOR TAXPAYERS ACROSS THE OCEAN STATE.
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.
