For the record I'd be against paying ANYONE to get vaccinated with public money.
But, to your larger point, public employees unions own Rhode Island like no other state in the union. This includes wholesale ownership of the state's liberal (and progressive) democrats. What this political ownership says about the differences or similarities with our liberal brothers & sisters across America may not be what you'd like us to think.
Then as a "Progessive", you denounce the use of federal dollars to strengthen the working class, yet endorse through the GBI, its use to strengthen the class among us that refuses to work. Is there anything else that we need to know about you? I'll take my vision for this great nation over yours in a heartbeat. Strong unions make a strong country.
Of the untold billions that Uncle Sugar has thrown around during the pandemic, they've homed in on this one simply because it's organized labor. Something which the phony "Liberals" here never miss taking a swipe at. I wonder how many of them donated their free stimulus money to needy businesses. And it's become a widely accepted practice, in both the public and private sectors, to offer employees vaccination incentives. And please remember that one of the more vocal critics proposed paying police according to the crime rate in their sector. Bitter and envious, union-hating, anti-labor phony "Liberal" malcontents.
There is no vaccine incentive here. You get the $3000 whether or not you get the vaccine. That's not an incentive, it's a disguised bonus.

No, this is a disguised anti-labor rant. Workers are not financially penalized for religious or medical exemptions from the vaccine. Same as in the private sector.
