Two protests this afternoon against state budget

PROVIDENCE -- Two groups with two concerns about one tight budget are expected to rally this afternoon at the State House.

Advocates for Head Start are expected to meet at 2 p.m. to voice their opposition to a proposal that would eliminate 400 of the youngest and poorest children from the social services program.

Then, at 3:30, a group of business leaders plans to rally against an array of proposed taxes, including new taxes on goods and services.
