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.

  • 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.

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.

The images of a line of troopers bursting past tribal members, a police dog nipping at a person sprawled on the ground, and the wife of a tribal council member lying handcuffed in a fetal position with troopers looming over her were impossible to ignore. But the analogies many people made to images from the civil rights movement in the South in the 1960’s and depictions in films like “Mississippi Burning” missed a larger point. Governor Carcieri’s ill-advised approval of a raid on tribal land by state police was only the latest in a string of actions he has taken that have demonstrated both an insensitivity to the legitimate rights and expectations of people of color in Rhode Island and an enormous lack of interest in considering their viewpoint before making decisions that may have tremendous negative consequences for them.

AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT A. Statute: Rhode Island is an at-will employment jurisdiction as a matter of common law. However, this may be about to change. As of April 27, 2017, legislation is pending before the Rhode Island General Assembly that would statutorily abolish the at-will employment doctrine in Rhode Island. This legislation also would require terminations from employment to be based on “just cause” and would create specific remedies for wrongful discharge from employment. B. Case Law: Rhode Island is currently an at-will jurisdiction. Employees “who are hired for an indefinite period with no contractual right to continued employment are [considered] at-will employees subject to discharge at any time for any permissible reason or for no reason at all.” DelSignore v. Providence Journal Co., 691 A.2d 1050, 1051 n.5 (R.I. 1997). In general, Rhode Island courts have required clear evidence that the parties intended to enter into a contract of employment in order for the presumption of employment at-will to be overcome.
