I did not see the press release from any of the leaders of the General Assembly. Where are these progressive leaders that have done such good for our fine state.

This is a yahoo moment for RI. First off lets get put on the map for something other than unemployment rates. Second this means jobs, we need those. This is a lot of turbines creating a lot of energy. Where does this energy go? Does RI get first dibs and maybe our rates can go down and does the state get anything out of selling it to other states like MA and CT?
