What gives Westerly's representatives the right to force the state to open a DMV branch 3 days a week when last years budget clearly defind the need to eliminate two branches. DMV branches are not a priority. Let's look at the big picture please.

By vetoing both the DMV office in Westerly and the RI saltwater fishing license, the governor has reduced small expenditures for the state at large expenses to Westerly residents. Both veto's are essentially increased taxes for all Westerly residents. Then he wonders why the brain drain that's strangling the RI economy? Penny wise and pound foolish no matter how you look at it.
