Senate probes local ordinances and Medicare ties
The Rhode Island Senate considers bills to cut local authorization for quarry regulation and bond issuance standards, with hearings on public-vetted financing. House debate over Kennedy Medicare, Kerr-Mills ties, veterans benefits, tax cuts, and a study on criminal mental responsibility also feature in a packed session. Block Island gambling bill faces ongoing resistance from Sen LaChapelle, who may abandon it if public opposition remains. A push to remove ship wrecks in Narragansett Bay and Providence is memorialized to Congress.
