With a $9 billion budget deficit hanging over the state, lawmakers have failed to pass an on-time budget for the 23rd time in the past 25 years.
"It doesn't surprise me with the way government has been running lately and the way they continue to run," says Al Ridella, of Warwick. "I think there has to be a rude awakening coming."
