Thank you, Sen. Goldin, for capturing the various reasons why major US corporations want nothing to do with locating in RI. Specifically, meddlesome Nanny State initiatives, such as those you endorse, make it harder and harder to conduct business. The beauty of our merit-based system, and one that seems to escape meddlesome pols, is that workers are paid precisely what they are worth to their employer. Assuming no contractual fraud, etc. the government has absolutely no role in compensation agreements between a willing employer and willing employee.
