This is absolutely outrageous. Our GA is so out of whack that it would give money away to the lazy and undocumented and withhold from our senior citizens. If the GA isn't cleaned out in the next election, I have no choice but to leave the state. This is the LAST place I want to retire. After all I've put into this state over the years, I certainly don't want to be kicked to the side by a GA that would rather support people too lazy to work or people who are here illegally, while pulling food from the mouths of our senior citizens. This is one small-interest group that should NEVER be ignored! Shame on the Geneal Assembly.

I fled the state years ago. Miss the water, the coast, but not the F**ked up politics. Come down to GA--cheaper real estate, good income (more than we were making in RI), lower taxes, and you still get the 4 seasons change--just winter is shorter and not as harsh.

Once again, I hope all those who voted Don in again are regretting their shameful waste of votes. Imagine taking money away from the most vulnerable of our population!!!I would imagine that next he will cut from the nursing home funding that these poor people may end up needing due to the lack of a meal.

Right, Debbie. Keep blaming the Governor when it's the General Assembly that writes and votes for the budget. Don't let reality get in the way of your ignorance.

Unless I am mistaken Greg the Governor can override and/or veto correct? Remember that when one is in charge they ultimately own it......
