David sits down with the Narragansett Times
Posted by admin under: News .
Representative David Caprio completed a one-on-one interview with the Narragansett Times last week and here are excerpts from the article:
Breaking down the newly-signed Economic Recovery Act will likely be the first order of business at the State House when the General Assembly resumes on Tuesday, according to Representative David Caprio, (D-34, South Kingstown, Narragansett), and a member of the House finance committee.
The year has already gotten off to a hectic start, according to Caprio who said during an interview Wednesday that even though the act has been passed, the state still isn’t out of its own economic quagmire.
“The federal recovery act is only a day old, so there is no real talk yet,” said Caprio. “But the finance committee staff is gathering itself to figure out what we are eligible for to maximize our take. It’s a 1,200 page bill that not one member of congress had time to read before signing.”
Nevertheless, Caprio said he is excited to begin the process of sifting through the language of the stimulus act with the committee. “I am encouraged by the tremendous amount of effort put in by members of the House finance committee. I look forward to imposing some agreeable changes.” Caprio said the stimulus plan would not be fully realized for at least several weeks.
