We the People of Rhode Island demand a recall of Governor Gina Raimondo. 

Our Governor Gina Raimondo is doing her bidding at the tax payers will with bridge project after bridge project starting one before the others finished, 5 years and we've seen no change to our highways. She also continues to blatantly use nepotism and partisanship to appoint people in positions such as the examples quoted below. The people of Rhode Island re-elected Raimondo hoping for the best because she was the only Democratic candidate but her public relations are failing with her approval by the people of Rhode Island shrinking lower and lower every day. She takes no citizen's opinion into account when putting through these morally reprehensible  bills such as the current pro-choice EXTREMELY late term abortion bill she "vows" to pass despite major condemnation by the citizens of RI. We are done letting her pass what she wants while ignoring the voices of the citizens she's supposed to represent many disagree with her whether its the documented partisanship giving jobs to friends high up or not agreeing with the UNCONSTITUTIONAL Gun control bills she's tried to pass through. Something must be done now before its too late, heres just some examples of her partisanship documented 3yrs ago today, which then caused the first petition calling for a recall was put in place during her first term. We the people deserve a better representative who will take our views into account and work with the taxpayers the right way we don't need another 4 years of corruption and partisanship.  



Examples of corruption, partisanship, Nepotism, and waste of taxpayers money. 
        Quote from Warren Buffet Calling Gina Raimondo out for her corruption:

      " In the debate leading up to that policy shift, Raimondo used highfalutin business speak that left most union members dumbfounded and confused, something profiled brilliantly several years ago in a story by Matt Taibbi. He quoted Paul Doughty, the current president of the Providence firefighters union, saying, “She’s Yale, Harvard, Oxford – she worked on Wall Street. Nobody wanted to be the first to raise his hand and admit he didn’t know what the fuck she was talking about.”

When all was said and done, Raimondo promised that her investments were going to yield substantial returns. This was despite the very public bet the Oracle of Omaha had made about such investments three years earlier.

 
Now Buffett has definitively shown that all this was nonsense and obfuscation. Here is how Black put it on The Real News:

Hedge funds, unlike the big banks, are not typically publicly traded, so you actually have very little information about them. But very commonly, they pay out far more. Little hedge funds pay out far more in compensation for their CEOs than do the absolute largest banks in the world, and this can be by a factor of 10. In other words, there are a number of hedge funds in any given year that may pay the CEO more than $100 million, in fact, well over $100 million in a year. Right? So, presumably, they must be doing something fantastic to warrant that money that the rest of us couldn’t possibly do, and mere top bankers in the world can’t do. And so Buffett’s bet tested that proposition and it found it was all an enormous lie.

Now the question is whether Raimondo knew she was sinking all that pension money into a failure — with an estimated loss of nearly $2 billion in June 2015, now calculated as the largest financial scandal in the state’s long history of fiscal fiascos — or because she was just a combination of naive and stupid.

Either way, Raimondo has a lot to answer for. As Vice Chair of the Democratic Governors Association for the 2018 election cycle, a Clinton 2016 super-delegate, member of the Council on Foreign Relations and an Aspen Institute Rodel fellow, it looks obvious to many in the Ocean State she has her eyes on Washington. Whether Buffett’s bet will focus attention on the fact that she is responsible for the largest fiscal loss in the state’s history is anyone’s guess."

“The amount of money she has raked in from corporations, from executives of corporations who at the same time are receiving special tax breaks and benefits from the state is a corruption of our democratic system,” Brown said when asked multiple times if he was accusing Raimondo of criminal behavior. “That is an instance where our government is clearly looking out for corporations and Wall Street interests instead of looking out for the people.”

Examples of Partisanship: 

     The Raimondo administration placed Jeremy Licht, son of the governor's powerful ally Richard Licht, in a $118,000-a-year job as policy director of the Commerce Commission. With the help of former Gov. Lincoln Chafee, Richard Licht last year parlayed his position as director of administration into a lifetime appointment as a Superior Court judge, without waiting until he had left office for a year. In a bizarre decision, the state Ethics Commission ruled his position outside the bounds of the law, though the appointment certainly violated its spirit. However qualified or unqualified Jeremy Licht might be, Ms. Raimondo surely recognizes the political optics of this move.

        -Governor Raimondo appointed Peter Alviti, a 16-year director of programs for the New England Laborers’ Health & Safety Fund, as the head of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation. Obviously, the union, one of her strong political supporters, has a direct interest in the activities of the department -- an interest that might conceivably conflict with those of taxpayers. As the union publication New England Laborers Update Magazine recently put it in a headline: “Laborer Named to Top Position.” It's essential that this department be run exceptionally well, given the state's dire infrastructure problems, but the public's confidence has not been enhanced by RIDOT’s poor response to formal requests for information about what is going on with a plan to institute tolls.

            -Ms. Raimondo side-stepped the revolving-door law by giving former Democratic state Rep. Donald Lally an $87,057-a-year job on her own staff and then "loaning" him to the Department of Business Regulation. Mr. Lally was regarded as a go-along, get-along legislator before he stepped down in March, clearing the way for the sister of Raimondo supporter U.S. Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., to seek the seat (the sister lost the primary election).

             John Marion, executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island, says the Lally appointment appears to violate the revolving door rules covering legislators. "There's a special law that applies to only 113 people, you know. And this is one of those 113 people," he said.
