To the editor:
Recently, Rep. Knight claimed to be an “independent” voice but could only offer one instance where he voted against leadership. Of course, he left one conspicuous second example out — his vote against the teacher sex bill. For some reason he chose not to highlight that one, possibly because it is infuriating and anti-child.
Knight voted with the Speaker in opposing:
• The Gas Tax Moratorium: just when we needed a break mid-summer
• Electric Bill rate relief: an idea now promulgated by McKee
• Low and middle income home heating relief
And voted with the Speaker in supporting:
• Corporate Welfare: the Superman Building and Pawtucket Soccer Stadium
• The Act on Climate: largely responsible for the 47% electric bill increase
Mr. Knight is not “independent”. He talks a good game but in the end knuckles under to the Speaker just like everyone else up there. It’s time for someone new.
