R. Healey and R.I brain drain

 I share R.Healey's concern about the Rhode Island " brain drain ",

    expressed this morning ( May 5 ) in the Warwick Beacon. Is the problem

    more acute  perhaps in Warwick ?

      " We must not let these educated individuals leave the state ", he

    warns . And how does " brainy " Rhode Island try to deal with this

    rather embarrassing problem ?

         How do we keep the intelligent in the state ?  I read on the front

    page of the Providence Journal today that  a national study shows we

    have absolutely the  WORST ROADS in the USA - and also we pay more

    than any other state to keep them that way .

        Apart from roads , though, there is the airport and the railways .

    I recently told a friend that the best thing about Rhode Island nowadays

    is how fast you can get out of it !

        So the Road Block idea won't work ! The intelligent will escape

    anyway !
