AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Labor Politics: The Rhode Island AFL-CIO met behind closed doors and chose neutrality in the Democratic governor’s race, endorsing Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos for reelection while backing Sec. of State Gregg Amore, and it declined to endorse for attorney general. Providence Housing: Providence Mayor Brett Smiley accused the City Council of stalling a $1 million emergency RENT Fund meant to deliver up to $3,000 for rent and utilities, urging a special vote during August recess. Gun Policy Snapshot: New gun laws take effect this month across states, with Rhode Island among those tightening rules while other states loosen carry access, underscoring a widening patchwork. Health Workforce: Brown’s medical school dean warns that instability in hospital systems could worsen Rhode Island’s doctor shortage by disrupting the training pipeline. Coastal Regulation: Rhode Island coastal regulators are reluctant to approve full-scale work to shore up Newport’s Cliff Walk, with staff recommending the public-access portions be reconsidered separately. Science & Industry: The NSF awarded $15 million to the New England “Seafood Engine” to strengthen fisheries and aquaculture, including Rhode Island partners. National Watch: Acting AG Todd Blanche faced sharp Senate questioning during confirmation hearings, with Democrats and some Republicans probing loyalty and controversial DOJ actions.
