Lo que NO acontecio esta semana semana en la Asamblea Legislativa: Los líderes de ambas cámaras continúan tercos en sus posiciones, mientras que la Gobernadora Gina Raimondo les dice “Hagan su trabajo y aprueben el presupuesto”. El viernes se cumplió ya una semana del impase que ha dejado a Rhode Island operando con el presupuesto del año pasado. El Vocero de la Casa Nicolas Mattiello insiste en un la única manera que se apruebe el presupuesto en si el Senado regresa a sesionar y aprueba la version de la Casa, o sea sin la enmienda, a la que el se opone. Mientras que Dominick Ruggerio, Presidente del Senado, dice “Espero que se enfríen las cabezas, y que la Casa regrese y podamos llegar a un acuerdo”. Mattiello suspendió la sesión de la Casa abruptamente el pasado viernes 30 de Junio, alegando que el Senado había enmendado el presupuesto ya aprobado por su cámara, de $9.2 billones y que habían incluido una enmienda que cambiaba la propuesta de Mattiello para reducir el impuesto vehicular. Por ahora Mattiello dice que no tiene intenciones de volver y que mas bien “va a disfrutar del verano”. El año fiscal 2018 en Rhode Island empezó el 1ro de Julio.
