PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Gov. Dan McKee on Friday released a working draft of his administration’s vision for Rhode Island’s future.

The 55-page RI2030 plan looks at spurring economic growth, strengthening education, addressing climate change, prioritizing housing, and enhancing public health, among other things.

The plan was put together with feedback from the public through 13 virtual community conversations.

The draft plan also calls for addressing racial inequity and poverty.

“Historic and ongoing systemic exclusion of people of color from economic opportunity has led families of color in Rhode Island to be trapped in the cycle of poverty at higher rates than white families,” the draft says.

The administration will now hold in-person public input sessions to solicit feedback.

Was in Rhode Island last year. Pawtucket and surrounding areas are looking like the sanctuary state shitholes the governor envisioned.

Trying to get my family members to move out of there.

Rhode Island has it's own Five Year Plan.

“Historic and ongoing systemic exclusion of people of color from economic opportunity has led families of color in Rhode Island to be trapped in the cycle of poverty at higher rates than white families,”

Liberalism, Handouts and Welfare caused it, now we can Double Down and Thoroughly Destroy even more generations of Non White Minorities while making them Dependent and Beholden to Us, the Public Masters.

In his screed, Demonicrat McKee claims:
"Between 2015 and 2019, 55% of Native American, 33% of Hispanic, and 27% of Black children in Rhode Island lived in poverty, compared to 12% of Asian children and 13% of White children."
Not stated or referenced in this claim is the percentage of those children in each category are in single parent families.

He was remarkable.

” plan looks at spurring economic growth, strengthening education, addressing climate change, prioritizing housing, and enhancing public health, among other things.”

It’s the same old thing, over and over and over.

Get out while you still can. I did, over 25 years ago. It was bad then. I lived in Pawtucket. The year before I left we had a boil-water order that lasted for months. The official(s) in charge of the water system had been selling the disinfectant chemicals out the back door instead of using them.

A standing joke there was that Rhode Island was unique in that it was the only entire state controlled by the Mafia. But it wasn't just a joke. Everything you did in business required payoffs. Just getting a table at The Harborside cost you $20.

I do miss the fresh seafood, though.

Look out Whites and Asians, the Governor will soon have you on a path to equal or exceed the poverty level of Native Americans and all other minorities.
