I'm picking one point out, schools.

I've been looking at various rankings and RI schools vary from 10th in the country to 27th which I wouldn't call abysmal. Our schools definitely have room for improvement but the rankings say they aren't as bad as you seem to think they are.

They are the worst in New England… And there can’t be any excuses anymore.

Massachusetts our neighbor is amongst the best in the country.

As they are right next door, they have similar population demographics.

So why are we so deficient?!?

And why do we pay more per pupil?

We reportedly also pay teachers more than all but two other states in the country.

(More than MA)

I’m not saying I have an answer.

Or a conclusion.

I’m only pointing out the data facts.
