  That site is difficult to work with

  1. Go to Capitol TV ri site http://ricaptv.discovervideo.com/embedviews/vod?c=all&w=640&h=480&s=1

  2. Below the inoperable video screen is an archive of videos and a series of numbered boxes

  You should hit the box #3 to go back 3 pages(I guess) you are looking for the April 28 video of " locally administered pensions and opeb" It will show as 4-28-14

  The fun starts at the 2 minute mark and goes for about 9 minutes

  Let me know what you think I think this should be huge news
