UPDATE: Chairman Lynch to appear on WPRO AM at 10:00
Chairman Lynch sits in studio with WPRO’s John Depetro this morning to discuss the governor’s use of taxpayer money to support his right-wing political agenda. If you agree, like we do, that this was a gross abuse of the governor’s authority and a misappropriation of your tax dollars call into the show by dialing (401) 438-9776 or 1-800-321-9776.
Here’s the story from today’s ProJo.
The details of the arrangement were released yesterday shortly after Lynch filed an open records request with the governor’s office regarding Bopp’s work. Lynch asserted that the brief was filed to promote Carcieri’s personal views and should have been paid for with personal money.
“We all know what the governor’s position is on these issues,” Lynch said. “I don’t think it’s appropriate [for him] to use state tax money to advance his own personal opinion on this issue.”
