Gov. Raimondo To Install Progress Sign To Replace a Brick

PROVIDENCE, R.I.- Have you noticed these Rhode Works Progress signs throughout Providence? One project in particular is under scrutiny for being deemed 'over the top'.

Get Ready For One on Benevolent Street

Benevolent Street will have a Rhode Works progress sign put up soon, after Governor Gina Raimondo vowed to fix a missing brick from the sidewalk, both on time and under budget.

"These fine citizens of Providence deserve to walk this brick sidewalk without the slight possibility of twisting an ankle, or stubbing a toe. Sidewalks are roads for the people" Governor Raimondo said, " so it is vital that this project is completed as soon as possible, and to cost the taxpayers as few dollars as possible. We will get this one done!"

Johnny Pallucci seems to be confused over the need for a progress sign for this certain project. "I mean sure, it's a nice sign. Nice shade of green in those circles. Of course, that's only if the two bricks are under budget and are installed on time. I just don't see why we need a sign to tell us how it's going. Shouldn't take more than... I dunno. 30 seconds tops".

The project in question.

Florence Richards agreed with Mr. Pallucci about the sign being over the top. "I just think this is a cheap way to make 100% sure that a project in Providence will indeed get finished on time and under budget! The sign probably costs more than what it would to fix those two bricks. I do admit, it's a handsome looking sign, though."

As for the sign, it is rumored that it will indicate the project cost at somewhere between $3-$5, and the 'Done' portion will aim for 'Tomorrow'.

Victor Weinstein agrees with Governor Raimondo's desire for a Progress sign for such a small project. "There ain't much room there for that sign, so it'll be on the sidewalk. I'm gonna have a lot of fun watching these nerds from Brown smack their noggins against it while they're on their phones doing their math homework. Not enough of these signs around town if you ask me".

Needless to say, Raimondo will have plenty to answer if this project, also, fails to make both deadlines.
