I Want Rhode Islanders to be Rich(er) - Ted SiedleIn 2013, I completed my first forensic investigation of the Employee Retirement System of Rhode Island entitled Rhode Island Public Pension Reform: Wall Street's License to Steal. But they’d all be kept in the dark, thanks to a new secrecy scheme devised to eviscerate state public records law. And Rhode Islanders paid dearly for Raimondo’s Wall Street scheming—looting which continued under her successor Seth Magaziner and goes on through today. Investigations of past wrongdoing and recoveries should be the focus of Rhode Islanders, since there is ample existing evidence of wrongdoing and so much money has been pilfered. If you want to make Rhode Islanders richer—go after it.
