PROVIDENCE, R.I - Governor Chafee has penned a strongly worded letter to House lawmakers in opposition to Speaker Gordon D. Fox's plan to overhaul the state Economic Development Corporation.
Chafee says the proposal would dismantle state agencies regulating the environment, businesses and labor and jeopardize the key work they are undertaking.
The letter was submitted Tuesday during a House Finance Committee hearing on the bill in which a number of Chafee's department directors testified in opposition.
