Maybe they should all pack up and move to the State House lawn…I would love to drive by and see that…Then maybe this Governor will do something…
put them on a boat
As usual the state is picking on the poor people who have no money to fight back. Our governor and the state has been doing this since he came to office.
I hope they are actually going to help them out. If not then shame on you( the state, our governement and the governor.)
the governement has put them under the bridges. Now the government and our tax dollars better help these people, our fellow brothers and sisters.
What else can we do?
