Rep. Malik,

This discussion is very self servicing. You own a liquor store in a town that borders Massachusetts! How will Rhode Island would make up the $887 million in annual revenue the sales tax generates?

The first solution this state needs is a reduction in government spending. What are you (and other officials) doing to fix that? Let's cut government and reduce property taxes. It's time you start working for the majority who elected you, not yourself.

From: Letter: State should debate eliminating sales tax

He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
