In an American Thinker article in February, Andrew Walden points to a startling and very unpublicized fact about wind power. In the best wind spots on earth, over 14,000 turbines were simply abandoned. Spinning, post-industrial junk which generates nothing but bird kills. Now, some of the older ones would have been discarded for newer technology.…
[See my post for a recitation of events and Andrew’s post for a description of bill procedure and why democracy within the Capitol is too often considered a “parliamentary trick” by leadership.] This is the question that I asked the office of the Senate President four times over the course of three days last week:…
Under Marc’s post, Joe Bernstein points out that RI needed E-verify Yes, it does. Present tense: it needs e-verify. Jobs are the single biggest enticement for people to come here – here to the United States and here to Rhode Island – without respect for the law.

Question for State House observers: is it true that this is the first time that a bill has been pulled after it was scheduled for a hearing? House Speaker Gordon D. Fox decided Monday that Rep. Peter Palumbo’s controversial Arizona-style bill on immigration will not be heard this session. “The speaker opposes this and feels…
When it was pointed out to Connecticut AG Richard (this space deliberately left blank) Blumenthal that newspaper articles had picked up and repeated his lies, thereby unwittingly contributing to his stolen valor, Mr. Blumenthal indignantly replied that he could not keep track of all news reports about himself. Not so fast. An editorial in Wednesday’s…
(… the AZ law before commenting on it). H/T NewsBuster’s Noel Sheppard. On a slightly more serious note, Rep Peter Palumbo’s bill to bring the “Arizona” – aka, the US federal – immigration law to Rhode Island will be heard in the House Judiciary Committee late Thursday afternoon.
