 There is no JOI in Mudville as Rhode Island Strikes-Out, Ranking 48th Nationally The Rhode Island economy has struck-out when evaluated on a broader playing field, despite celebrated improvements in the traditionally cited monthly unemployment rate. This according to the RI Center for Freedom & Prosperity, which today launched its new Jobs & Opportunity Index (JOI), a more comprehensive measure of a state's overall economic outlook.
While recently closing its regional and national unemployment gap and improving to T-34th nationally at 5.4% with regard to its unemployment rate, Rhode Island scored just 17.4 on the new 0-100 JOI scale, ranking 48th in the nation in March, actually widening its negative gap as compared with New England and other states in the past few years. 
Wild Side Episode #261 4/27/16- An interesting thing occurred on the latest podcast of the Wild Side. Professor Clyde ran a little late because he was doing his patriotic duty and voted in the RI primaries. So his co-host, Johnny K formally of Free Speech Radio and WBOB personality Ryan Fox helped guide the first part of the show. The makeshift duo started talking about the RI primaries, how many people didn’t turn out because they don’t trust the candidates (believing that they are corrupt). However Johnny K & Ryan talk about how there are still people out there who take pride in their right to vote and believe they are making a difference (God Bless them).
Clyde then makes his appearance later on, sharing his experience (and his amazement) of the poll turnout in RI. Special guests include long-time friend of the show, Wall Dolmc of Defenders of Liberty MC, joins the show to talk about upcoming fundraisers he’s apart of such as They Fought, We Ride which will take place on May 14, 2016, in Revere and finish in Boston, MA.

Several Rhode Islanders have come forth to make claims of poll violations ranging from disenfranchisement to electioneering. The allegations are hardly surprising, as nearly every state primary conducted thus far has drawn complaints for lack of fairness or access to ballots. High voter turnout in Rhode Island is likely fueling the complications.
 The Rotunda Episode #61 4/25/16 - On this episode of The Rotunda, Scott goes ‘into the weeds’ on the 2016 presidential primaries, detailing what each candidate needs to do in order to secure their party’s nomination. He also gives his opinions on who can (and should) win the so-called Acela Primaries, and talks about social media’s sometimes detrimental effect on media coverage, especially with respect to ‘social justice’ issues.
