BACKGROUND
Just two short weeks ago, Senator Paul V. Jabour and Senator William J. Conley, Jr, Chairman of Senate Committee on Finance, secured $1.1 million in the state budget for the Cranston Street Armory (learn more here). But, just moments before today's important state budget vote, the House has slashed this amount by more than half to just $500,000, leaving the Armory's ongoing repairs even more underfunded.
Representative Anastasia Williams is fighting to restore the amount to $1.1 million in the House BEFORE today's vote, but needs our help! Please call or email House Speaker Nicholas A. Mattiello and ask him to restore funding. The budget vote is TODAY so make haste to give VOICE.
Neighbors, THANK YOU!
