Raymond E. Gallison, Jr.[2] (born March 23, 1952, in Providence, Rhode Island) is an American politician and a former Democratic member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives representing District 69 since January 2003. Gallison served consecutively from January 2001 until January 2016 in the District 91 seat.
Gallison agreed to plead guilty to nine counts brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office related to Fraud, Aggravated Identity Theft, and Tax Charges. According to a press release Gallison, "Gallison will admit to the theft of funds from the estate of a deceased individual to which he was appointed executor; theft of funds from a Special Needs Trust established to protect the long-term welfare of a disabled individual to which he was appointed trustee; providing false information on tax documents, including vastly inflating the number of students assisted by a non-profit organization funded by public money while failing to disclose amounts paid by that organization to him; and failure to pay taxes on income derived from his criminal actions."[3] He resigned on May 3, 2016.
