"By Allison Shinskey

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The state is seeking ideas for the Shephard Building on Westminster Street as the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) and the University of Rhode Island (URI) Providence Campus prepare to move out.

Laura Hart, a spokesperson for the Department of Administration, said the six-story building is worth roughly $10 million.

Hart said the building once housed a department store but has been owned by the state since 1995."

I’ve lived all over the northeast, down into DC metro, Florida, mid-west, and Mountain West. I get that people in the northeast are more direct, but that’s not the sense of entitlement I’m talking about. It the “you should be doing XXX for me because I feel important”. You mention the snow blowing, last year I shoveled out my neighbors drive twice, they saw me, and said nothing, even when we had that blizzard. RI is not like any other place that I’ve lived, not even other parts of the Northeast, like Vermont.

There are other benefits to tint besides vanity, like keeping the car interior cool and to prevent reflections entering the vehicle. Yes, there are people that take advantage of the tint and black their windows out but there are people who genuinely just want to have legal tint but these laws are too strict.

Just like anything people will take advantage of any situation and it screws over the others, which is unfortunate.
