RI business owners: by this fall, the half a billion dollar RI unemployment insurance fund will be totally drained. Your businesses were closed due to executive orders from the governor. It should not be on RI businesses to replenish that $500 million. 1/3

The governor should use the stimulus dollars to replenish the fund. If you agree,please respond in the comments section with your business name. A full court press is getting underway to pressure the governor to not add any additional economic harm to RI's battered businesses 2/3

Our businesses struggle on what passes for good days in RI. All RI businesses have taken it hard on the chin due to the economic chaos surrounding the virus. Asking our businesses to absorb the UI claims which they had no responsibility for would add years of continuing pain. 3/3
