Read this thread! Amy not Aimee speaks clearly and passionately about the need to fund Newport schools. We cannot expect improvement without resources and we cannot allow our elected officials to act surprised when long term lack of investment comes back to bite us.

This.

This is exactly the way a Mayor should respond to a hit and run. More of this from electeds, please. Less leaving children to die in the street, please.

This was so so great yesterday 🥰🥰

Housing 🤝 Transit 🤝 Climate

I don't understand the police chiefs' pushback on this. There are all kinds of reasons there is just cause to fire someone from a job that aren't necessarily criminal. To me, the heart of reforming LEOBOR is about treating our police officers like the rest of the workforce.

Further evidence here that Greater Providence's rent increases are, in the end, a policy choice

🚨The RIPTA Board of Directors has delayed a vote to implement proposed service cuts scheduled to take effect June 15.

While the driver shortage remains very real, RIPTA staff painted a strikingly encouraging picture, with almost 200 applicants in the pool already.

This friend speaks my mind.
Housing 🤝 transit.
When we open new apartments, we need the bus to pull up *on the first day* and frequently/reliably thereafter. Karen Alzate's #H7774 can't wait for 'later'. SaveRIPTA 🚌

VERY different vibe at the RIPTA board. Really truly encouraging. Now we need Joe Shekarchi to swoop in as a transit hero🦸🏻‍♀️with the funding to close the $8 million gap, sustain the higher wages for drivers, and set us on a path to service expansion to meet Act on Climate.

Interim RIPTA CEO Chris Durand is asking the agency's board of directors to vote against proposed service reductions that would take effect in June.

Providence! I have an extra ticket to Ben Folds tonight. Anybody want to get soaked in 90s nostalgia?

'It’s obvious to anyone stuck at rush hour, including me, that adding a traffic lane to South Water Street won’t get us to East Providence and beyond any faster: The bottleneck limiting traffic flow is the merge onto Interstate 195 eastbound.'

Not surprised to hear that Rep. Rep. Terri Cortvriend 🟧 is working on this. She is an incredible leader who never fails to put every day people first. Between her and Lou DiPalma Middletown could not possibly have better representation in the General Assembly.
