video: Business Groups Say Chafee Taxes a Job-Killer
Wednesday, April 13, 2011
UPDATE: After the protest, Governor Lincoln Chafee held an impromptu press conference with reporters to respond. Chafee said that his focus remains on closing the $331 million deficit while fixing longer-term issues such as eliminating the need to borrow for transportation funding, funding for higher education, and fully funding the education aid formula.
Chafee also went on the offensive, saying he does not see much leadership in the business community and repeating what has become his mantra: he’s open to better ideas, but has yet to hear any. Chafee said he hadn’t heard a “syllable of another … approach to closing the deficit.”
