Can we come back to Mr. Regunberg, who labels himself an "outsider" while miraculously maintaining a straight face. If I understand his positions, he's for ending competency testing in schools, and increase in the minimum wage, something called "climate action", and my personal favorite: "ethnic studies". And of course, there's the requisite mention of "...top 1% paying their fair share", as if 39.6% to the feds + 6% to the state + property taxes + sales taxes simply isn't enough. As a state rep from Providence, he has seen his policies result in high illiteracy rates among high school graduates, shuttered businesses, and the predictable flight of producers from the city. These types of policies have already yielded similar outcomes state-wide, but Mr. Regunberg apparently wishes to double down. He appears to have mastered Lesson #1 in RI politics: Tell your lemming constituency you'll give them free stuff. In marked contrast to an "outsider", Mr. Regunberg appears to have written the book of how to decimate a state.
