Lincoln Chafee: “All I know is that the State is extremely vigorous and thriving…”

On the recordJune 28, 1996

All I know is that the State is extremely vigorous and thriving because of the outstanding leadership he is providing, and, indeed, the people have recognized this with the overwhelming reelection victory that he had. However, we will have an adequate opportunity, I think, to discuss this. I might say, I do not agree with the Senator's characterizations of employers. I wrote down some of them: ``Harsh,'' ``greedy,'' ``exploiting.'' That is the different attitude that we take.
