PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Protesters unhappy with Rhode Island’s failed investment in former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s video game company urged state leaders Tuesday to default on the money the state owes for the deal.

Supporters of defaulting on the 38 Studios bonds say insurance on the investment will pay bond holders the more than $100 million the state owes. About 20 of them marched to the Statehouse on Tuesday and met with state Reps. Karen MacBeth and Spencer Dickinson, who favor legislation that would prohibit the state from paying the money.
