Rhode Island is a beautiful state, according to our signs, at least.
Rhode Island is a uniquely dysfunctional place.
This week on the Tom Stewart Project, Tom piles on the Governor's newly unveiled $5 million marketing campaign, and points out that although she hired the man behind the iconic "I <3 NY" logo, what Rhode Island got was a logo that looks like it belongs on a box of store-brand cereal. Watch the Tom Stewart Project below!  Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin, along with the Federal Trade Commission and agencies from all 50 states, have obtained a permanent injunction to dissolve two nationwide sham cancer charities and ban their president from profiting from any charity fundraising in the future under a settlement filed in court today. Cancer Fund of America Inc. (CFA), Cancer Support Services Inc. (CSS) and their leader, James Reynolds, Sr., agreed to settle charges that CFA and CSS claimed to help cancer patients, but instead, spent the overwhelming majority of donations on their operators, families and friends, and fundraisers.  STATE HOUSE – The House Labor Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing tomorrow on Rep. Aaron Regunberg’s Healthy and Safe Families and Workplaces Act to guarantee all Rhode Island workers the ability to earn paid sick time.
The hearing is scheduled for today March 31, starting at 3:30 p.m. and continuing at the rise of the House session (sometime after 4:30 p.m.) in Room 101 on the first floor of the State House. The bill is the third item on the committee’s calendar that day.

The Rhode Island Commerce Corporation (RICC) launched its new logo and branding video this week, and the Ocean State is none too pleased about it. The RICC spent nearly $5 million on the tourism campaign, and it became instantly clear that a few things were amiss -- including a very simplistic logo design, and evidence that not all scenes of their "We Are Rhode Island" video were filmed in Rhode Island -- or even in America.
