Dem Gov Gina Raimondo “Has Had A Very Bad Ten Days”

Last week, failed Democrat governor Gina Raimondo had some of the worst headlines of her tenure as Rhode Island’s chief executive. With news of a budget shortfall now in excess of $130 million, two consecutive months of job losses, ongoing controversies that continue to worsen, and growing opposition to her signature proposal by members of her own party, the Raimondo administration’s failures are piling up, further hurting her chances for re-election in 2018.

GoLocalProv reports:

“It kicked off with news that Rhode Island’s revenue numbers were going to fall far short of target numbers and be off by $100 million or more.

Then, the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training released the jobs numbers and those numbers too were disappointing — Rhode Island lost jobs for the second consecutive month.

For Raimondo, the numbers are disappointing, but the ramifications for her agenda and momentum may be more pronounced. Can she garner support from legislators for her $30 million college program? Can she justify $23 million in state funds for the billionaire owners of the PawSox to build a new stadium?”

With the Democratic Governors Association announcing another round of campaign ads to bolster Raimondo, it’s clear that Democrats are worried about her failed record and the effect it will have on her re-election in 2018. Unfortunately for them, no amount of messaging or misleading statistics can hide Raimondo’s failed leadership.
