  • Town of Coventry, Ri Dock
    TOWN COUNCIL MEETING January 24, 2011 5:30 p.m. Work Session – Legislative Delegation, Town Council and School Committee In attendance were Representatives Jared Nunes, Patricia Morgan, Patricia Serpa, Scott Guthrie, Lisa Tomasso and Michael Chippendale and Senators Nicholas Kettle and Glenford Shibley. School Committee members present included Chairwoman Katherine Patenaude and School Committee members Thomas Hetherman, Lianne Russell, Nancy Sprengelmeyer and Judith Liner. Town Council members present were President Gary Cote, Vice-President Kerry McGee, Councilman Ted Jendzejec and Councilman Raymond Spear. Town Manager Thomas Hoover Town Solicitor Frederick Tobin Items for discussion: Replacement of the General Nathanael Greene Memorial Bridge State budget Proposed Legislative actions Increasing the limit for settlement bonds Extension on fire code mandate at Coventry High School Local budget forecasts Unfunded state mandates With regard to anticipated state aid funding, Representative Serpa explained that she has not seen the Governor’s budget yet but will forward all correspondence that she receives to Manager Hoover. She advised that the town should count on no increases. Even though the estimates for projected revenues are looking better, the town should proceed with caution. Neither Representative Serpa nor Senator Shibley have heard anything yet as far as money and agreed that the town should assume no increase, especially since the state has a $350 million shortfall to close. Representative Guthrie thinks the town may be forced to change the way it taxes, for example the motor vehicle tax, as doesn’t expect more money to be given to the cities and towns. Representative Tomasso added that it is important that if the tax rate changes, the levy stays the same.

    January 13, 2014 Richard K. Sullivan, Jr., Secretary Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs 100 Cambridge Street Suite 900 Boston, MA 02114 CC: Members of Coal Plant Revitalization Task Force Re: Planning for Energy and Economic Transition Dear Secretary Sullivan: The Bay State and the Ocean State share far more than a border. Regional economic growth and struggles, workforce challenges, and power decisions affect the health and wellbeing of residents of communities from Rhode Island to Southeastern Massachusetts, Boston and beyond. From natural beauty to marine commerce, our waters provide enormous benefits and opportunities. Our public and private transportation networks send people to work across state lines. We share hubs of innovative technology and academic brilliance, strong university systems and a growing clean technology sector. And now more than ever, we share a need to revitalize old, industrial communities with industries of the future. We write today because we see great urgency and great opportunity as changes in our energy grid force a rethinking of power decisions. We thank the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs for stewarding a deep examination of coal plant transition, its impacts and the policies needed to support the growth of thriving communities. As representatives of neighboring districts, we have grave concerns about the continued burning of coal for power, and see great promise in planning for a healthier and more resilient future. What choices we make today for our power grid and our economies will affect many, for many years. Each policy, transmission line, pipeline or redeveloped plant is part of a large and shifting infrastructure, revisions to a 1950s and 1960s energy grid.

  • Your Guide to Local Elections
    They’re Running!: Your guide to local elections COVID has pushed almost all other news out of the limelight, but 2020 is still an election year, and even though the national parties’ presidential primaries wrapped up months ago, the American experiment is still crackling on our local level. With most of the major candidates announced and wrapping up their nomination papers, we’ve put together an election guide to help you keep track. Cranston, Rhode Island’s own second city, has a number of important or notable races this year. Mayor Allan Fung is term-limited out of the mayoral office, and both parties have contested primaries. Fung has endorsed city council member Ken Hopkins, but City Council President Michael Farina has racked up the local party’s endorsements and has a rather “extravagant” campaign strategy. On the Democrats’ side, longtime council member Steven Stycos is squaring off against former councilwoman Maria Bucci. Republicans have controlled both the mayor’s office and city council since 2016. With six ward seats and three citywide seats, it’s up in the air who will control the council. Speaker Nick Mattiello is running for re-election for his seat in House District 15. This year’s challenger is Cranston First Lady Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung, wife of outgoing mayor Allan Fung. Mattiello is possibly having the worst year of anyone in RI politics, being the target of at least two grand jury investigations. Right to Life has publicly supported Fenton-Fung, as pro-life organizations feel stung after the Speaker let abortion rights get codified into state law.
