AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Health Care: Outgoing Attorney General Peter Neronha is urging Rhode Island to create a state-run insurance option, projecting 134,000 enrollees and annual costs of about $397 million. He also proposed overhauling state health agencies; both plans need legislative approval. Election 2026: Voters decide Nov. 3 on major bonds, including $120 million for housing, $100 million for economic development and $50 million for a state history center. Free Speech: A federal judge ruled Gov. Dan McKee and aides violated Providence Councilor Miguel Sanchez’s First Amendment rights by firing him over pro-Palestine comments; damages and possible remedies remain to be decided. Economy: Rhode Island’s jobless rate is near a three-year low, but a shrinking workforce clouds the improvement. Consumer Protection: Rhode Island is suing Meta, alleging the company profited from scam advertisements.
