PROVIDENCE – Governor Gina Raimondo wants to spend $200 million of Rhode Island’s federal coronavirus relief funding to support small businesses and invest in job training programs as part of what she calls a plan to build a “better, fairer, more inclusive, more equal economy.”
 
 In a telephone interview with the Globe on Monday, Raimondo also said she wants voters to consider an even larger affordable housing bond than the $25 million proposal that she put forward in January, and said she might create a new incentive program to recruit manufacturing businesses to Rhode Island.
