(Undated) -- Rhode Island voters approved seven bond referendums on Tuesday authorizing four-hundred-million dollars in borrowing. The most tightly-contested question was also the largest spending item, over one-hundred-million dollars for construction projects at the Ocean State's public colleges. About 60% of the 100,000-plus people who went to the polls on Tuesday voted in favor of that question. Ample amounts were also approved for projects in state recreational areas, housing and transportation infrastructure.
