Naturally beautiful Rhode Island - marred by filth and litter


  I could not get very passionate over the Gina Raimondo public relations fiasco- although from a local news and social media perspective it seems to rival the Donald Trump gaffe on abortion " punishment ".

   Since when will a passionate campaign - honest or dishonest - to attract tourists to Rhode Island do any more for the state's economy than those frequently pimped state lottery tickets ?

   We have to get back to the solid idea of " creating " wealth within the limits of growth and within reasonable population limits. I see even a " greening " of Bernie Sanders' " democratic socialism ".

   How can any Rhode Islander not notice two things : the state's natural beauty-and that beauty marred by filth and litter on the beaches and in the public parks ?

   Take a walk at Oakland Beach in Warwick( those disgusting cigarette butts ! ) or around Roger Williams Park in Providence - once a great tourist attraction- to see what I mean.

   ALL American politicians are great believers in marketing- with little regard for the truth.



RI ad campaign fiasco


     It is nice to be called "brilliant " after you have been out of college for many years. But " brilliant " to what end- the general welfare ?
