Senator Marc A. Cote – (D) North Smithfield, Woonsocket
Senator Louis P. DiPalma – (D) Little Compton, Middletown, Newport, Tiverton
Senator Walter S. Felag, Jr. – (D) Bristol, Tiverton, Warren
Sen. Frank S. Lombardi – (D) Cranston
Sen. Michael J. McCaffrey – (D) Warwick
Sen. Harold Metts – (D) Providence – Special Note: Metts is known as a religious crank in the Senate.

And last but certainly not least is Senate President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed (D) Newport, Jamestown. She deserves a lesser ration of crap because she did allow the bill to come to a vote. But just the same – lay it on!
Senator DiPalma – haven’t I seen him at the Eagle?
