Baby bonds can indeed deliver on the promise to close Rhode Island’s wealth gap.

Setting up trusts for for children on Medicaid at birth can have a big economic payoff later on.

This is what #InvestingInRhodeIslanders is all about.

I want to thank Illinois State Treasurer Michael W. Frerichs for inviting my business partner Jim Reynolds and I to the “For the Long Term – Chicago Forum” in Chicago today! It was an all-around great meeting of the minds.

And look who I ran into; Ariel Investments Founder, Chaiman, Co-CEO and CIO John W. Rogers Jr., one of the greatest businessmen in the country! He has an amazing business partner, and my fellow NFL owner Mellody Hobson at Ariel Investments. He and Mellody have been doing great things around the country!

🥬And even create new food deserts

I’m calling on the @FTC to oppose the merger and safeguard Colorado's long-term economic security. #stopthemerger
