While visiting Newport on Tuesday, Representative Doreen M. Costa weighed in on the current conditions of roads in Newport and Rhode Island.
On her personal Facebook Page, Costa was critical of the current conditions of the roads in Newport saying; “If you want to find the WORST roads in Rhode Island just drive around Newport… For the love of God”.
UPDATE: Representative Costa deleted her comment after this story was published.
