Legislators review past session and budget moves
Rhode island style legislators reflect on a six month session. They praise keeping state aid to education flowing and blocking Gov Noel's tax freeze. A 1000 property tax exemption for residents 65 plus awaits voter approval June 24. Rep Parella highlighted transportation and education work while opposing cigarette and gasoline taxes. Sen Lima sought focus on travel agency licensing and a new city morgue location. Sen Rousseau pressed for local cost relief from any freeze and more school board hiring flexibility.
