I don't know, Catherine. I do know that RI was the most overly corrupt state I've ever lived in. The former mayor of Providence is in a federal prison now! The mayor of the city of Boston, however, just signed a law yesterday banning fireworks from all nightclubs. (It's hard to believe this law is necessary because people don't have the common sense it takes to NOT set off fireworks indoors, though.) --Bob
