Lincoln Chafee's Ratings

Pros: He has fought against 38 Studios. He also backed the closure of Children's shelters in the state. He signed the legislation for marriage equality.

Cons: In the 1990s, the state reduced taxes for people making over $250,000 in the hopes the money would be re-invested in jobs and those people would stay in the state. Despite the fact that jobs have been in decline lately he is against removing the tax break. Further, he supported the Sakonnet river bridge toll that put the burden of Rhode Island’s financial situation on the residents and businesses of Aquidneck island. The people who were most impacted by this toll are the people who had the least amount of money.
