Lawmaker Critical of the RhodeWorks Program Goes on the Warpath Again

RICentral.com reports that State Representative Patricia Morgan (R-26), a persistent critic of the RhodeWorks truck toll plan, is on the offensive again. Alleging that Governor Gina Raimondo has “broken promises [and] contrived rationales for the passage of harmful tolls,” Morgan is calling on the General Assembly to repeal the RhodeWorks legislation. Morgan’s attack was precipitated in part by Governor Raimondo’s decision to alter a major RhodeWorks project because an expected federal grant was denied and potentially hazardous bridge conditions require immediate attention.
