Frank Caprio Proves He’s Anti-business and Supports Big Government

Posted on August 11, 2010 by The Ocean State Republican

John Robitaille, the endorsed Republican candidate for Governor, today released the following statement regarding Frank Caprio’s comments on the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation’s recent approval of a $75 million loan guarantee supporting retired Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s video-game venture, 38Studios. General Treasurer Caprio made outrageous anti-business statements when he said that the state of Rhode Island should own part of Studio 38 by holding an equity position, and also have the right to attend the company’s board meetings.

“Frank Caprio’s suggestion that government must own part of a private company in return for economic development assistance proves his pro-business rhetoric is a fraud. This is not a question of whether this particular loan guarantee should have been approved. It’s about a reckless statement being made by gubernatorial candidate, Frank Caprio that could further damage our state’s economic development efforts. The state’s innovative loan guarantee program designed to attract new employers to Rhode Island will certainly fail if businesses think that the government will own and control a part of the company as a result,” said Robitaille.

“Mr.Caprio is a career politician so it’s no surprise that he thinks the state government should own and run our businesses. I’ve worked in the real world, owned a small business, and employed workers right here in Rhode Island, so I know what government should and should not do to create jobs,” said Robitaille.

“Rhode Island’s economy doesn’t need more government, it needs less. It certainly doesn’t need government running our businesses. We must lower taxes for all businesses, so they can invest,innovate and grow – providing more jobs for Rhode Island families. We must reduce wasteful spending and live within our means. Less spending leads to lower taxes. Lower taxes leads to more jobs. If we follow Frank Caprio’s plan, pretty soon government will be the only employer in our state. Caprio’s plan is not good for businesses or Rhode Island families.”
