Rhode Island Senate Misuse of Power

[thatVeteran]

why even bother to vote! Paiva Weed is a tyrant ! taxation without representation plain and simple!

[mat2nc]

What a joke. Just another example of why I left my home state. They have no desire to consider what the public wants, just how to further there own careers.

Remove the weeds from the state office...

[summitunity1]

its unbelievable the audacity of these two. absolutely no shame even with the cameras rolling. this was obviously a personal issue to treat Senator Cote with so much disrespecet. Connors and Paiva-Weed need to go. Connors is not running for re-election so he can chase ambulances but we may be stuck with Paiva-Weed. thanks Newport and Jamestown. you all must be very proud. do the right thing.

the Rhode island general assembly is a sham. they can at any time hold a close door session and at their whim,raise taxes and impose tariffs and levees.

this is taxation without representation

get Pavia-Weed out!

[niteeyes20]

Absolutely a disgusting abuse of power.... the squashing of a bill that had the support of a majority of the Senate! 

[blades0805]

You Rock RI

Throw the DemonCRaps out of office !

[lawhorse123]

Disgusting. Connors and PaivaWeed should be ashamed but obviously they are without the ethical or moral fiber genes to feel shame or they wouldn't behave this way. The arrogance of power demonstrated by Connors - not the slightest bit of shame in what is clearly wrong wrong wrong - what a set up - all incumbents in RI have got to go!

Pavia-Weed has sold her soul to ....I'd say the devil, if I believed in him.

Suffice it to say that she and her cohort have sold out. The ugliness of their

inner selves is apparent on the outside as well -- both are physically hideous.

[RedWyvernn]

A total disgrace.

Paiva Weed is an elitist little communist and Connors is a punk. There time is at hand.

[Kennyc99]

That is a disgrace! and I don't even live in RI. It's so obvious that was a game plan to jump up and vote and second the bill before Senator Cote could even get his mic turned on. But they had ML Connors mic on in a blink so he could cal the vote. President Paiva-Weed should be called on a mis-use of her position!

[elemare113]

Amazing. I heard about what happened, but to see the outrageous behavior, hear the weak "ayes" and the strong "nays" and see her hesitate then call the "ayes" as prevailing is simply astounding. That manipulative witch and her court NEED TO GO. I only wish that arrogant Connors didn't drop out of his re-election bid to give us all the satisfaction of seeing him turned out of office like the cad he is. Cowards and scoundrels. Your day of reckoning is at hand.

[dcb00123]

Such an obvious abuse of power. Senators Paiva-Weed and Connors are a disgrace to the Democratic system. Election day is coming!

@dcb00123 Republic!
