Coyne — Seniors have earned peace and security

Posted

Seniors have worked hard their whole lives and deserve peace and security in their golden years. Working to do what we can to support seniors has been a priority for me since I served as the Barrington Town Council’s liaison to the Senior Services Advisory Board, and that commitment continues now as your state senator.

Many seniors live on a fixed income or rely upon loved ones for assistance in some matters, which is why we eliminated taxes on Social Security and the first $15,000 in retirement income. It is also why this year I sponsored legislation that established a special task force to address elderly abuse and financial exploitation.

Whether its restoring free RIPTA bus passes for low-income seniors and disabled individuals, or doubling funding for local senior centers and the invaluable services they provide, I have been proud to work to help seniors at the Statehouse.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
