Policy Agenda

Each year The Economic Progress Institute collaborates with our community partners to advocate for state policies and investments that will put more Rhode Islanders and our state on a path towards economic progress. 

What's Happening: 

The House and Senate Finance Committees are hearing the Governor's Budget Proposals this week.  See the General Assembly's Committee Calendars for more information.

2013 Policy Agenda

Meeting Basic Needs: We have a shared responsibility for ensuring that people who work hard for low pay are able to support their families, and that people who cannot work are able to meet their basic needs.

A Skilled Workforce: Increasing the skills of our workforce is vital to strengthening our economy and enabling Rhode Islanders to support themselves and their families.

A Sound Tax Structure: We must raise adequate revenue for vital public services in the fairest possible way.
