The League of RI Businesses is a new Rhode Island political action group that is representing itself as moderate and “pro-business”. However, when I pressed the group's founder on Ocean State Media (PBS), his political positions were anything but middle-of-the-road.

Interesting podcast with Ken Block. His assessment of the status of RI administrative government is correct. However, how does he plan to work with the Speaker of the House and the partisan General Assembly?
