AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Housing Affordability: A new national report says Rhode Island renters need $31.71 an hour to afford a typical two-bedroom, far above the state’s $16 minimum wage, with the average renter earning $18.22 an hour and falling short on rent. Energy Costs: Gov. Dan McKee signed a $28M emergency order to provide winter electric bill credits after Rhode Island Energy warned of double-digit rate increases, but details about funding and how the credits will be handled are still raising questions. Renters’ Burden: Another report finds Rhode Island is getting more expensive for renters, showing how many work hours it takes to cover market-rate apartments. Court Fight Over Disaster Aid: A coalition of states, including Rhode Island, sued the Trump administration in federal court in Rhode Island to block disaster-preparedness funding conditions tied to election and immigration policies. Climate Regulation: Attorney General Dana Nessel joined a multistate lawsuit challenging an EPA rule that weakens phaseout deadlines for highly potent greenhouse gas refrigerants. Blood Shortage: Rhode Island and Connecticut blood centers declared a blood emergency as summer demand rises and donations dip. Local Culture: Newport’s jazz and folk festivals continue to draw attention, with coverage highlighting the events’ legacy and standout performances.
