The legislative session may be over, but the bill is about to come due. The millionaire’s tax was the headline. The real impact is everything else that follows. @RichLowry @StephenM #RIpolitics #RhodeIsland #RIWorksSmarter #ThinkBIG

Watching the Dem primaries tonight, there’s a lot of talk about wealthy candidates and the influence of money in politics. It raises an honest question in RI: how does Helena Foulkes resonate with Dems increasingly skeptical of elite / corporate executives? #RIGov #RIPolitics

🎧 Senator Tiara Mack joins us to discuss the push for a strong RI Voting Rights Act as the legislative session winds down & the legacy of the 1965 federal Voting Rights Act. 🔗podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… #Law401 #VotingRights #RIPolitics

Rhode Island is the smallest state in New England, yet it spends about $15.2 billion a year…roughly $13,800 per resident. Compare that to New Hampshire (~$5,500 per resident) and Maine (~$8,200 per resident on a general fund basis), both of which manage far larger road networks, more public lands, and larger geographic areas. RI also employs nearly as many state workers as New Hampshire despite serving fewer residents and maintaining a fraction of the territory. These numbers raise serious questions about waste, inefficiency, and duplication, as well as whether taxpayers are getting value for their money. #RIPolitics #RIBudget #InspectorGeneral @Republicans @RIHouseofReps

Ken Block demands transparency from everyone else but won’t release his own tax returns. Not surprising. He’s changed parties more times than Rhode Islanders have hit potholes and rerouted around the Washington Bridge. #RIPolitics

Speed cameras may have a place when kids are arriving at or leaving school, and for major problem areas. But do they need to run all day? Safety or revenue? What do you think? #RIWorksSmarter #RIPolitics

Helena Foulkes’ latest ad tries to rewrite history on opioids while backing a millionaire’s tax. This from a corporate executive who laid off thousands. Rhode Islanders are paying more and getting less, and we remember what really happened. #RIPolitics #RIWorksSmarter @ShatterproofHQ @DonaldTrump

RHODE ISLAND WATCHDOG BILL: ONE BIG EXEMPTION They want to audit every agency in Rhode Island… except themselves. The proposed Inspector General bill creates a government watchdog to investigate fraud, waste, and abuse — but lawmakers carved out a special exemption for the General Assembly’s own $63 million budget. If accountability matters, why are politicians shielding themselves from scrutiny? #RhodeIsland #RIPolitics #Accountability #GovernmentWatchdog #RIStateHouse

Aaron Guckian is calling out Helena Foulkes over her role in corporate leadership during the opioid crisis and criticizing what he describes as her attempt to rebrand herself as a political outsider. He says Rhode Islanders deserve accountability, common-sense leadership, and solutions that lower costs instead of raising taxes during a time of growing economic pressure across the state. #AaronGuckian #RhodeIsland #Accountability #CommonSenseLeadership #RIPolitics

PARENTS COULD SOON SUE RI FOR FAILING SCHOOLS The RI Senate voted UNANIMOUSLY (36–0) to pass SJR 2018, a constitutional amendment forcing the state to guarantee an "equitable, adequate, and meaningful education." Sponsored by Sen. Jonathon Acosta, the bill sits in the House before hitting the November 3, 2026 ballot. Politicians have left poor neighborhoods underfunded for years. This lets parents sue over failing schools and protects budgets. Yet, critics warn it gives unelected judges power to dictate tax spending. We need leaders who truly care, not just empty promises. #rinews #ripolitics #RIDE #rhodeislandschool

SILENCING TAXPAYERS Rhode Island Democrats are pushing House Bill H7676, a dangerous open meetings law that creates a massive procedural trap for local towns. Under this mandate, if a town council meets face-to-face and the public Zoom feed suddenly glitches or drops signal, the entire physical meeting must instantly shut down and send everyone home. Local government belongs to the people, in person, not at the mercy of a dropped internet signal. People, This is exactly why you need to know about the bills being proposed at the State House. Left unchecked, bad legislation like this could quietly ruin our local democracy. Pay attention, stay informed, and vote the right candidate! #RIGOP #RIPolitics #RhodeIsland #OpenMeetingsAct #StopTheMandate #TaxpayerRights

RENT SCHEME FUNDS BROWN Brown University accepted $12 million from billionaire Orlando Bravo, but investigators are raising alarms. As Providence leaders fight for a 4% rent cap, the irony is clear: an Ivy League school is studying economic policy funded by the same tech accused of breaking it.

Stop demonizing the fossil fuel industry. The government makes more money than the oil company through fuel taxes. And before Rockefeller and cheap kerosine, poor people went to bed when the sun went down. #WhiteClub #RIPolitics

Absolutely.. and although I’m a paid up member and fan of Rori and RIPolitics his anti @Keir_Starmer rhetoric is both wrong and worrying imho

A 2¢ gas tax cut… and a much bigger tax hike behind it. Governor McKee is pitching “relief” at the pump, but the real plan comes with a price tag — a new “Millionaire Tax” pushing rates near 9%. $9 million in savings for drivers sounds nice… until higher taxes start driving jobs, businesses, and investment out of Rhode Island. This isn’t relief — it’s a tradeoff. Small cuts now. Bigger consequences later. Are you buying it? #RhodeIsland #GasTax #TaxHike #RIPolitics #CostOfLiving #EconomicImpact #TaxPolicy

FBI SEIZES PROPERTY IN KENT COUNTY The FBI has officially posted legal notices for assets seized right here in Kent County. From Warwick to Exeter, federal agents have moved to take permanent ownership of cars, cash, and equipment linked to recent investigations. If you have a legal interest in this property, the clock is ticking. You have exactly 30 days to file a formal claim. If you don't act, the government keeps it all—permanently. Check forfeiture.gov now. #FBI #forfeiture #rhodeislandnews #ripolitics

Why did the Iryna mural move to Opa’s Restaurant? CCN brings you an exclusive look at the interview that explains the transition from downtown controversy to Federal Hill landmark.

CESAR CHAVEZ STATUE, KEEP IT OR NOT? The fate of the Cesar Chavez statue is splitting Providence after 2026 sexual abuse allegations. Mayor Smiley is fast-tracking removal to match "city values," a move that mirrors his dismissal of the Iryna Zarutska mural. Yet the political unity has vanished, as Rep. David Morales now pivots to demand a "pause" for community heritage. It seems the agenda for which symbols stay or go depends entirely on the political winds of the day. Watch now for the full breakdown. Providence, are you going to keep it or not? #providencenews #rinews #politicalmove #ripolitics

THE REBELLION ARRIVES Rhode Island’s political elite are facing a localized uprising. The League of Rhode Island Businesses is funding a direct assault on the State House hierarchy, targeting Speaker Joe Shekarchi and Senate President Valarie Lawson. This isn't a protest—it’s a well-funded campaign to replace career politicians with leaders who prioritize local enterprise over stifling regulations. The era of unchecked power is over. The streets have spoken, and the establishment is finally listening. Like and share this post to support the movement and follow for more updates on the fight for Rhode Island’s future. #shekarchi #LORIB #RhodeIslandNews #ripolitics
