Bill > H7018

This resolution, a formal expression from the Rhode Island House of Representatives, conveys profound sympathy on the death of Edward D. DiPrete, who served as the 70th Governor of Rhode Island from 1985 to 1991. The resolution highlights his distinguished career, including his military service in the U.S. Navy, his early political roles in Cranston as a school committee member and mayor, and his governorship, during which he is credited with achievements in education, infrastructure, environmental protection, and tax reductions. It also notes his ability to work effectively with a legislature of a different political party and his leadership roles in regional organizations. The resolution acknowledges his devotion to his family and his life after public service, and it directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of this expression of condolence to his family.
