GBN Launches Petition Campaign to #ReOpenRI for Work
A petition campaign, urging Governor Raimondo to re-open Rhode Island for work (#ReOpenRI), was officially launched today by the Gaspee Business Network (GBN), the incorruptible voice of the small business community.
Per the Governor’s plan, it could be well into the summer before many businesses could largely return to normalcy.
“Only certain business have been judged as ‘essential’, but the Gaspee Business Network believes that every business and job is essential to our state’s economic recovery,” said Mike Collins, spokesman for GBN. “The Governor’s arbitrary and oppressive scheme to open the economy is far too restrictive and slow.”
The petition also requests that every industry be provided the opportunity to pledge to follow recommended state health protocols, as has been provided to other industries, like the RI Manufacturer’s Association.
