Blow up everything and instead of making it competetive with New England, make it the most desirable place for business in the country. Make others react to Rhode Island for once. Make it so they can't say no!

"considers" making RI attractive to business? The RI General Assembly is way too late - should have been doing this for past 20-30 yrs. This should be an on-going process by our elected officials and state economic development dept. This is so sad.
