Dedication, commitment and honor. 🇺🇸
Our veterans deserve our everlasting appreciation and return on those words and actions.
Happy Veterans Day!

[Rick Simone @RickVSimone]

This is a solid update from @AlexaGagosz & @bamaral44 We first brought this up in June & it has to be realized guests now are paying more $. We have no assistance or plans from a state or national level on how to maneuver through this. The results of this will not be good.

[The Ocean State Coalition @401coalition]

We must pay attention to this! Supply shortages are a direct result of increased costs to all types businesses.

[Rick Simone @RickVSimone]

This is a very real problem. We have been talking about it since June. Almost all businesses I know have held back on passing these increased costs on to guests. Now its at point where they have no choice in order to stay in business. @GovDanMcKee & @CommerceRI have heard this.

[Rick Simone @RickVSimone]

Tonight I had the true honor to represent Covid hero’s along w my good friend @dadekian & many others at the first @WaterFireProv in 22 months. So many amazing hero’s were present. Thank you @GovDanMcKee for this invitation. It was a beautiful & humbling experience.

[The Ocean State Coalition @401coalition]

Support our local small businesses!

[Rick Simone @RickVSimone]

I’ve had the privilege to work along side both DASAP & Sanitides over the last year. Two talented entrepreneurs. This is a well done piece by @AlexaGagosz @Globe_RI Support our small businesses! @CommerceRI @FederalHillRI @MattSheaff @DanMcGowan

[Amanda Pitts @AmandaPittsTV]

And as the news broke today that #Connecticut will lift all restrictions but the mask mandate on May 19, @RickVSimone said he's continuing to work with @GovDanMcKee, pushing to get all RI restrictions (except masking) lifted by Mother's Day weekend. @ABC6

[Rick Simone @RickVSimone]

[Brian Amaral @bamaral44]

RI says it’ll tax unemployment benefits and the governor is proposing a tax on forgiven PPP loans. A busy season for CPAs is turning into a nightmare as the scramble is causing a spike in cases at some firms. On the worst tax season ever: https://t.co/Sk2ZX3wfox
