Is it "jobs jobs jobs," "spend spend spend," or "eat eat eat!"

Leadership should lead by example...stop spending!

The state keeps hiring (spend spend spend) with a freeze and the speaker does the same....

Spend spend spend...that should be Mattiello’s memorized mantra instead of his jobs jobs jobs BS motto. This guy only meets in restaurants. And he doesn’t look like he’s starving either..But then again, he is an atty making a good salary, whose life style does not represent most Rhode Islanders...I wonder if Murphy controlled Nick Mattiello has a share in the restaurant Café Nuovo. He had dinner there with his wife when he met with fraud elect-governor Raimondo and her hubby just last week and now he is and Majority Leader DeSimone are hosting this year’s bash for their colleagues at Café Nuovo on Sunday, Dec. 7. The article says they are paying for it out of their respective campaign accounts. Interesting how the speaker instead of going to a variety of small businesses since the liar always spouts out helping the RI economy and small businesses but apparently he features just that one...that’s why I wonder why he frequents that fine dining restaurant instead of spreading the business around...and why cannot they meet at the state house instead of spend spend spend at the posh restaurant with this description
Cafe Nuovo
“Dazzling American Chic.” Casually elegant Café Nuovo, at the Gondola Landing on Providence’s famed Riverwalk, has been unabashedly singled out by the Providence Journal as Rhode Island’s contribution to “world-class” dining.
But then again Mattiello is a very comfortable 6 figure at least salaried attorney who is now the speaker (doubling his statehouse salary) and can afford to take the newbies to begin their indoctrination eating expensive cuisine that most RI hard working residents do not and cannot afford to do...And Mattiello is one of over 32 attorneys in the State House who make the 6 figure salaries, get free health care, other perks and still spend spend spend and feed their faces in an expensive restaurant known for its:”Fine art and fine food are one and the same at Café Nuovo.”

I wonder which of these self serving spending politicians will pick from the following menu:
10-oz. Beef Tenderloin $37.00
14-oz. New York Strip $35.00
18-oz. Cowboy Rib Eye $42.00
Three 6-oz. Colorado Lamb Chops $33.00
10-oz. Swordfish $Market$
10-oz. Scottish Salmon $28.00
12-oz. Veal Chop $43.00

This is why the “con con” should have been voted for that the clueless voters did not vote for and why term limits are needed. It is business as usual in the GA and in this state period.
And we have seen nothing yet, folks...wait till we see the power play for control between fraudmondo and slick Nick. I wonder how many times they will meet at restaurants to discuss the budget the sad sack RI taxpayers are stuck with esp since Fraudmondo again threw Chafee under the bus saying she inherited his mess...a massive deficit and how she will have to straighten out what RI has been doing for years! Yea, okay, Ms Cook the Books “get rid of Public Pensions” Wall St shill, user and exploiter opportunist...Let’s see what you have in store for middle income Rhode islanders for the next 4 years..We know you will help the corporates and the 1% for their support in buying you the election but what will you do for middle income people besides giving them some stupid recipe as you go out of state & enjoy Thanksgiving elsewhere!
