This is a sad news on the major taxes and programs of the Rhode Island Law, they really need to re evaluate and make solutions to resolve their problems because this is a big loss on their part. Anyway, speaking of loss, have you heard, Rhode Island teachers fired.The school in question, Central Falls High School (in Central Falls, Rhode Island) was one of the worst performing schools in the state, and the superintendent, Frances Gallo, had to make a decision if they weren't willing to play ball, and chose to fire everyone. They may have to get some payday loans or something to hire all new people. I hope it works out for the students, because they seem to be the ones that really need the help.
