Consolidation
Lincoln Chafee is open to consolidating local government as long as it can be proven that it will lead to savings. He reviewed the study done by the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council on consolidating the three school districts on Aquidneck Island. There are some savings and some efficiencies according to the study, but analysis must be done in order to take into account unique local factors for each area being considered.
Linc Chafee is a tested leader of unquestioned integrity and a strong independent voice. As Governor, he will work hard to create new jobs, rebuild our economy, solve our chronic budget problems, end corruption, and forge a new way forward for Rhode Island.
