Professors Mumm and Weisman are to be commended for their brave stand on behalf of those who need it. Governor Carcieri has brought very little in the way of new jobs or new business to Rhode Island, so he covers for his poor performance and that of his party by acting like the Bigot In Chief, much to the delight of the oligarchs and the deadbeat radio crowd. He would dearly love to have a chilling effect upon political dialogue as he dismantles state government even further while raising fees, particularly at the state colleges and university. None dare call them taxes, but, in fact, we are all being poorly used as our economy is destroyed by the arrogance of the ultraright and their political players--like this stereotype of a government-hating governor.
