I agree with this bill 100%. This is long overdue. Why are teachers being treated any better than the rest of us who have insurance?

This state is top heavy with pensions and raises you all gave yourselves and your staff. Stop giving away our money to those who already have enough. Take care of those who do the right thing and pay their bill. I would like to hold on to more of our own money to pay our bills.

We buy our own insurance and pay too much already. We won't be able to afford it at all if you increase the cost. We are a sole proprietor family business. You do nothing to help us, just increase burdens. We cannot afford after 30 years to work here any longer. While you are all giving yourselves...

We should not be handing out anything "complimentary" right now. We should be tightening budgets including you own, instead of giving yourselves raises and your staff raises while citizens are losing their homes and jobs. What world are you living in that I don't know about?

why is a state bill being written for something that is happening in one city of the state? Why aren't you taking care of state business and Providence taking care of their business?
