PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The biggest newspapers in Connecticut and Rhode Island are feuding over which state is worse.
The Hartford Court in Connecticut wrote a scathing editorial after The Providence Journal in Rhode Island published an editorial calling its New England neighbor struggling, and blasting its business climate as enormously difficult.
The Journal’s Jan. 24 piece ends by calling on Rhode Island Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo to try and attract jobs from Connecticut to Rhode Island, calling it “certainly less risky” than Connecticut.
In a Friday editorial headlined “Why, Rhode Island, Why?” the Courant responded by detailing a long list of its neighbor’s woes. Those include pension problems, economic issues and “a legacy of corruption that not even Connecticut can match.”
It closes by encouraging the states to work together.

If both states got smart and stopped electing Democrats as governor and in control of the legislatures, they’d be far better off with the lesser of two evils and be more desirable places to live and work!
Maybe they can merge and become the worst state in the country.
