For over a decade, an estimated $30 million annually has been skimmed from state workers' retirement savings purely to reward her political backers. No services required.
Most unfortunate that raimondo used her Wall St connections and NY connections since she was there for ten years prior to coming back to RI and I would venture to say at the say-so of both Wall Street and Enron's John Arnold to transfer pension money from hardworking pensioners who worked to save for their old age, only to see her take away the contractual by the way, 3% Cola to Wall Street in return for their help in her acquiring her political aspirations. Wall Street helped one of their own grow from Treasurer to governor to now Commerce Secretary unsuited and inept in all positions. Unfortunately she was able to make it in the smallest state of the union, the state where everyone knows everyone, with three degrees of separation pretty much and where one's vote is for sale. I doubt she would have been this successful in other states.
