Though it would be nice to get clarity if the pedestrian was in the crosswalk.

If not, the chief's a douche too, but still less of one.

Man who got in his fee-fees, after being incapable of not hitting a 4,000 lbs+ object directly in front of him, gets the first part of what's coming to him.

Seriously, imagine being mad you couldn't find your brake pedal.

While this is part of what top level politically-appointed staff are paid for... is this the point of failure, or are there others as or actually more responsible?

Inquiring minds.

Oil prices are up ~35% this week after Trump started his war on Iran.

This is the highest level since 2023.

Last week Trump bragged at the State of the Union about bringing oil prices down. They are now soaring.

I would think it's the universal inability to drive, lack of road enforcement, & substantial auto body mandates that drive up insurance rates.

The RIPTA/DOT equivalence is unserious.

RIPTA is a standalone public corporation, essentially an enterprise fund entity.

DOT is a state agency, solely dependent on appropriations for support.

They're designed differently intentionally. The Senator not understanding the difference is concerning.

The only real question is if he makes an endorsement in the governor's race or stays out of it.

McKee winning in is advantageous to the Secretary, as finishing a second term to run immediately for an open governor's seat would easily make him the early heavy favorite.

Anyone else think we could improve health insurance costs by folding OHIC & giving the responsibility back to DBR where it used to be?

I also love hearing rent-seeking organizations tell the state how much more money it should spend.

Sounds like Steinberg thinks Pryor is the problem too.

Pryor is the Chair, replacing Neil Steinberg, and the CEO leaves 6 months later.

Has Pryor been confirmed as the Chair or as the Secretary?

Is anyone except for @nancyklavin.bsky.social still covering this?

Seems a shame if not. It was a bomb when it dropped.

Thank you Ms. Lavin for keeping us informed.

While the constitutional restriction is worthy of concern, replacing the debt mechanism is a solid choice.

The state should take that approach to many things... I'm looking at you, Cultural Economy bonds.

@fitzprov.bsky.social your Buonanno Foulks story says the housing Bond was passed, 'Last year," I think that's supposed to be, "Last election."

And that's the one on that side. Same style set-up on my side of the city; potentially others too.

Seems a 24hr op; they've been here since at least 5 pm, were still operating @ 3:45am, & still going now.

Would be interesting to know how many of these crews are out.

While he was elevated initially, he did run for Governor. That's why it wasn't Foulkes vs. Kalus.

My biggest concern for Providence students may be that they have teachers with fundamental readings comprehension issues.

Am I the only one who feels like ~15% more is broken, but not sufficiently high to use, "shattered"?
