Chafee opposes cutting state funding for cities and towns unless the state government repeals costly mandates, including banning police and firefighter unions from bargaining over how many staffers must be on duty, which is also known as minimum manning requirements.
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.
