Ran air charter/flight school at Green Airport for 10 years

Feroce said Morgan has not run a business on the same scale as he has. Morgan countered, saying she got her own small business experience while running an air charter and flight school out of Green Airport. "I have hired people. I have had to come up with solutions. I have had to deal with suppliers, vendors, employees. We made a successful business," she said. "We grew it from 4 aircraft to 12 over 10 years."

Though Morgan argued small businesses are a strong force in Rhode Island, Feroce maintained his experience and qualifications are "so far superior" to hers, saying he oversaw 1,200 employees as opposed to the 7 or 8 employees at her airport business.
