General Assembly created RI Rivers Council (RC) – RI General Law 46-28. Kenneth Payne became RC chair. Statewide Planning Program provides staff support to RC. RC concluded in 1992 that "more effective integration of existing programs and authority for rivers is needed." RC formulated draft classifications for rivers in 1993. RC held four workshops in northern, central, southern and eastern RI in 1994 to refine draft river classifications. Governor Lincoln Almond inaugurated January 1, 1995. Michael Cassidy, Planner for the City of Pawtucket, became RC chair. RC, working with the Divison of Planning, created digital maps of the state's watersheds. The State Planning Council adopted the RI Rivers Policy and Classification Plan, in January 1998, as State Guide Plan Element 162. RC established policies for recognizing local watershed councils in 1998. The Blackstone, Saugatucket and Wood-Pawcatuck were first river systems to have watershed councils designated by RC. Note: Designated watershed councils have certain legal authority and standing to represent their water bodies in state and local jurisdictions as well as be eligible for state grants via RC. 2001-2007: Meg Kerr became RC chair. General Assembly commences in 2001 providing annual legislative grants to RC from $22,000 to $52,000 range. Annual grant rounds commence from RC to designated local watershed councils generally in $2,500 to $7,500 range from Fiscal Year 2002 to the present. -

Examining the Role of Political Language in Rhode Island's Health Care Debate
1 THE RHETORIC OF REFORM: EXAMINING THE ROLE OF POLITICAL LANGUAGE IN RHODE ISLAND’S HEALTH CARE DEBATE A dissertation presented by Kevin P. Donnelly to The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Public and International Affairs Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August 2009 2 THE RHETORIC OF REFORM: EXAMINING THE ROLE OF POLITICAL LANGUAGE IN RHODE ISLAND’S HEALTH CARE DEBATE by Kevin P. Donnelly ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public and International Affairs in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Northeastern University, August 2009 3 ABSTRACT Political language refers to the way in which public policy issues are portrayed, discussed, and ultimately perceived by the community at large. Focusing specifically on two case studies in Rhode Island—the efforts of two policy entrepreneurs to enact comprehensive health care reform, and Governor Donald Carcieri’s successful pursuit of a Medicaid “Global Waiver”—this thesis begins with a description of the social, political, and economic contexts in which these debates took root. Using a “framework of analysis” developed for this thesis, attention then centers on the language employed by the political actors involved in advancing health care reform, along with the response of lawmakers, organized interests, and the public. A major finding is that the use of rhetoric has been crucial to the framing of policy alternatives, constituency building, and political strategy within Rhode Island’s consideration of health care reform. -

STATE OF RHODE ISLAND OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL 2015 ANNUAL REPORT EY GEN RN E O R T A T L A S T D A N T A E L O S F I RHODE Peter F. Kilmartin ATTORNEY GENERAL 150 South Main Street Providence, RI 02903 (401) 274-4400 www.riag.ri.gov EY GEN RN E O R T A T L A S T D A N T A E L O S F I RHODE The Attorney General of Rhode Island is the attorney and advocate for the people of Rhode Island. Whether prosecuting a criminal case, defending the state in a civil forum, representing the public in a regulatory function, or serving as advisor, the Office exerts every effort to serve justice and the public interest within the confines of our adversary system. All employees discharge the privilege and honor of public service in this Office by: • upholding the Constitution and laws of the United States and of Rhode Island; • treating all persons with dignity, respect and fairness; • serving the people of this State with excellence and integrity; and • protecting the public interest and safety. Greetings; As Attorney General, it remains my first and top priority to uphold the laws of this state and protect each and every citizen, no matter race, religion, or economic background. To that end, the Office of Attorney General accomplished a great deal last year in meeting its obligations to the citizens of Rhode Island. In the past year, we continued to aggressively prosecute violent offenders in our communities, stepped up efforts to root out fraud and abuse in our social service safety net programs, and took steps to address the heroin and opioid crisis in our state. -

'''..... ~E STATE OF RHODE ISLAND Q GOVERNOR'S ..JUSTICE COMMISSION REPORT N 28 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS CENTER (SAC) OCTOBER,1991 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BRIEF ANALYSIS OF YEAR 1990 erious crime in Rhode Island rose by 3.2% during 1990. Increases in every serious crime S category, except rape, contributed to this result. The annual total of serious crimes-53,630 is the highest result since year 1981 when 55,704 serious crimes were reported. In terms of violent crime results, the negative news is that robbery increased by 9% and assault increased by 19%. The only somewhat positive result is noted in the rape category which decreased by 7.6% (265 (reported) rapes/year 1989 versus 245 (reported) rapes/year 1990). As we have stated time and again, and is worth repeating here, the R.I. Rape Crisis Center experiences far more activity/reports, thus they generally assist/counsel twice as many victims as are reported to the law enforcement community. TREND ANALYSIS : Once again, Rhode Island experienced spiraling motor vehicle theft. For example, during the year 1990, approximately 370 more vehicles were stolen than in year 1989. Moreover, or perhaps more importantly, year 1990 signifies that this crime offense reached the highest plateau or rank over the last 20 year period analyzed by the SAC. According to national crime comparison statistics, Rhode Island ranked fourth highest in the nation in the motor vehicle theft rate category. -

Newsroom Ken McKay '06 Plans GOP Revival This week's Providence Phoenix features a cover story on Ken McKay '06, who - the Phoenix asserts - may be just the man to revive the GOP in Rhode Island. From the PROVIDENCE PHOENIX : " The plan to turn Rhode Island red: GOP strategist Ken McKay is quietly plotting a data-driven explosion of the state’s one-party rule " by David Scharffenberg June 22, 2011: The Rhode Island Republican Party's reputation for ineptitude is, by any reasonable measure, richly deserved. Sure, the party held the governor's office for much of the last two decades. But no longer. Indeed, it doesn't claim a single statewide post at the moment. Its presence in the General Assembly has long been tiny. Its fundraising is anemic. And the GOP's hapless image only compounds the problem — making it difficult to attract the money and solid candidates that could resurrect the brand. -
