Since Roger's running unopposed, i'm gonna ask him if i can borrow 100 bucks too.

Just thinking out loud.....since they're all so well off, maybe they'd consider donating to my campaign to get some wheels.

I would ask all the candidates what they plan on doing about welfare reform and entitlement benefits.

I think i'd ask them if they preferred Bud or Busch at the beer tent and why they chose that selection.

If I were the interviewer, here are the questions I'd consider asking (with slight modifications for the incumbents):

"If you could pass any legislation you'd like, what are the three most important that you'd pass?"
"Looking at the past five to ten years, please describe your most important accomplishment, both for you personally - and for those around you."
"If you could change anything you did in the past five years, what would you change first?"
"Why do you live in Rhode Island?"
"Please describe your experience with public speaking, with the media, and with parliamentary procedure."

I'd also ask questions focused on individual perspectives so we can differentiate among candidates all of whom obviously care about Woonsocket and Rhode Island in general. As I said before, I'm not running against anyone. There just happen to be two other people running for the same position. That makes it important for all of us to get our own messages out there.

My question would be- Every year a bill is submitted for GA members (along with other civic leaders and their staff) to pay a 20% co-pay on their FREE health insurance. Every year it is either voted down or does not come up for a vote.
Ms/Mr incumbent politician how did you vote? AND give a brief explanation.
This question should also be asked of the politicians that are running unopposed

I wouldask the people running for the G/A, why do they accept the health plan from the state, it's a part time job, don't any of you already have health insurance?? Or is it that the states health care ( $ 16,000.00 plan is a better deal!!! Ms Baldelli Hunt and the rest of you already in the G/A isn't it about time you pay more for your health insurance?? When will you all stop the greed! I can assure you I for one will not vote for Mr. Morin, Or Mr Casey. I said before, we have all the firemen, teachers we need in that G/A greed pit. They will never agree to pay more for anything !!!!

For the new people, would you have voted for supplemental tax? Why or why not?

I would ask plain and simple, "if you know you can't do what you propose to do" shut your trap and keep your day job. If you are all going to join together and finally do something about the .scum in our city, welfare reform, drugs, etc., then I'll listen. Name something our current reps have done good for our city???

I would ask, if you know you can't change what you want to change, drop out now and save your empty words.

Question:
How have you voted to fund education in the past and how would you help to fund Woonsocket Education in the future?

I would point out that it very easy and neccessary to attack pension reform in the last session, but who will have the courage to take on a much larger problem; entitlement reform including excessive social programs, welfare programs that sustain generation after generation of people who have no desire to help themselves (not the working poor), etc. The Human Services portion of the state budget is far larger and insulting to every working person and needs to be addressed with the same zest as the General Assembly targeted the unions.
