Investigative Journalist Russ Baker, author of Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces That Put It in the White House, and What Their Influence Means for America" will be at Books on the Square, 471 Angell Street, May 16th 2:00.

After eight disastrous years, George W. Bush leaves office as one of the most unpopular presidents in American history. Baker goes deep behind the scenes to deliver an arresting new look at the Bush legacy, and the network of figures in intelligence, military, finance, and oil who enabled the Bush family's rise to power.

As a Rhode Islander and state employee I am tired of politicians especially the governor constanly picking on the working class people like myself that goes to work everyday. The governor is blaming the state's economic situation on state employees we are only a small percentage and the governor wants us to balnce his budget on our backs. It is not fair to myself and other government workers (teachers etc).. We all do not make over $100K like some upper management who should be monitoring the state's budget. What happened to the governors great Economic Developement Plan, companies are moving out of RI and not in RI. Please give the working stiffs a break.............
