@RICurrent: @RebeccaKislak said via text message Wednesday that the bridge is “a very popular monument and the decision about what happens next will be Providence’s.” “I hope that it will become more open space for the community to enjoy,” she added, citing a 2021 contest which prompted imaginative designs for the bridge’s future and the winning design as “so beautiful.” Full story: rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/06/03/thi…

Providence often serves as shorthand for Rhode Island itself. A four-candidate forum for the city’s mayoral race held Wednesday night at Brown University gestured toward even larger forces, ones comparable to those reshaping Democratic politics elsewhere. rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/04/23/pro…
@RICurrent: A statutory oversight that kept homebound and vulnerable Rhode Islanders from receiving critical foot care will soon be corrected with legislation passed by the Rhode Island General Assembly this week. The companion bills by Rep. Jennifer Boylan, a Barrington Democrat, and Sen. Lori Urso, a Pawtucket Democrat, granting certified nurses the authority to perform foot care at home, sailed through both chambers with unanimous support on Thursday, and Tuesday, respectively. State nursing laws don’t address foot care, and a separate section on podiatry says only licensed podiatrists can treat feet. But for years, the gray area went unaddressed, with a handful of nurses providing home foot care across the Ocean State. Heartwrenching testimony from families and medical caregivers dominated legislative hearings, bringing attention to what many lawmakers acknowledged was a problem they previously knew little about, including Boylan. “I had no idea,” Boylan said in an interview Thursday. “The unmet need is huge.” Full story: rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/04/09/gen…
