Household income is based on the earner, or the earner and a spouse. Other people that live there are not counted as far as I have seen as how would they be?

There are a few groups paying to build or redo houses in Providence for lower income residents. Some the state funds, others are non profits. How does it work out? Well, some groups are honest and do some great work. Others keep functioning due to a complete lack of media scrutiny.

So this is odd, when you "bought out your lease" what really happens is they sell you the car for a predetermined amount. You will owe taxes, and most likely penalties at this point. The RMV will register the car to you and give you clear title. Your insurance company and the RMV should have explained this to when it happened. Bill of sale...I am not sure.

I have met many people there and I would say some sections are very nice. But if you have kids I would recommend anywhere else besides Oakland Beach. Cranston I would say overall is far safer at its lowest location.

So the town stops by and decides your house is worth double what it truly is. They send you a bill but you get to contest it. Why is this? Because you are asking an outside group to set a price. This gives a bit of due process in case of error. In the case of the car the state wins no matter what, so no due process. It also tends to be a direct tax on the poor as its not the well off that buys these down market cars. So no only are we not allowing due process we are taxing the poor extra.

Do you know it was only decided in 2019 that the people were fraudsters while the business engaged in car sales were clearly honest? That creates a system that lets a group claim a value while a citizen has no defense. Again. No basis in law and should be challenged. I don't care if we are in a blue state. People have rights.

Yes. If you have no injury, or some other event that is covered, if you don't want to go to work your employer is not obligated to employ you. You can call it a firing but it will be seen as quitting.

I agree completely. Its a sales tax on a price negotiated by two parties. What the RMV does is state that one or both parties committed fraud without a court hearing or proof. Or as the founding fathers decided "due process" I would love to see someone fight this into an actual court.

I have seen a case this week were a coworker had a life event and HR tried to turn him down for insurance. Once the HR manager found out it was fixed immediately but he had to chase it all the way to get what he deserved.

Remember HR isn't always accurate or up to date. This sounds like the child had insurance but lost it so as a member of your household this would qualify. Email the HR manager and explain.

You can, but its worth your time to look into a candidate and see if the person stands for what you believe in. We have come a long way since being "taxachusetts" and that's due to people deciding what is right and wrong when it comes to running our state. We don't want to end up like Rhode Island, so take five minutes and find out about the candidates involved.
