Providence, RI - Governor Lincoln D. Chafee will be a featured speaker tomorrow at the National Governors Association's National Summit on State Government Redesign in Washington, D.C. The summit will allow states to learn about best practices and share experiences around efforts to reform and streamline state government. The Governor's remarks will focus on Rhode Island's efforts to shore up and strengthen the state pension system, manage and stabilize the finances of its municipalities, and the state's success in navigating the city of Central Falls through Chapter 9 bankruptcy, which has gained national recognition as a model for other states confronting severe municipal fiscal challenges.
