This is a sordid tale and worth the read. Kudos to the AG’s office for stepping up and working to make RI Energy pay back the money that Nat Grid fraudulently obtained. And then some.
Rhode Island Energy is paying $8 million to compensate ratepayers for a billing manipulation scheme by the previous owner of the state's largest utility. providencejournal.com/story/news/loc…
A new law sponsored by @Rep_Jason has updated the state’s “revenge porn” law to include content generated using artificial intelligence to impose a person’s likeness onto sexually explicit material. “Victims of technically enabled sexual exploitation have no involvement in the…
A great accomplishment to make Rhode Island safer from gun violence.

This is the result of hard work by @MomsDemand volunteers, @StudentsDemand leaders, and gun safety advocates! ✊🏾 I'm grateful to @Rep_Jason, who has sponsored or cosponsored an assault weapons ban every year since 2018, and was key in getting this passed. bit.ly/4kRaQ8P
@Rep_Jason THANKS for your leadership. Great to partner with you. 😉👍
.@rep_jason supports the @RISenate bill. While he says the House and Senate bills look different, the real world effects are similar
.@Everytown and @MomsDemand hail R.I. Assembly passage of ban on sale, purchase, and manufacture of assault-style weapons
Moms Demand Action volunteers have been working with Rhode Island lawmakers for months to ban the sale of assault weapons. Tonight, a ban FINALLY passed the state legislature! We’re grateful to gun sense champion @Rep_Jason, who stood up to gun extremists and never backed down.

The Assault Weapons Ban bill passed out of committee today and I’m looking forward to a robust debate and vote this Thursday on the House floor. Thank you to all the advocates who have worked tirelessly for years to get to this day.


Had a great time at @GLADLaw's annual RI event last night. They do amazing work for the LGBTQ+ community and I am proud to support them.


This morning I attended the Vietnam Memorial Service in Warren. We remember those who gave their lives in defending our nation, especially the four men from Warren who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.

I just heard the news of the passing of Senate President Dominick Ruggerio. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, his constituents, and his colleagues. May his memory be a blessing.
This Week at the General Assembly... The House approved two bills included in the housing legislative package backed by Speaker @JoeShekarchi. The first, sponsored by @junespeakman, encourages municipalities to allow the development of attached single-family homes, such as…
The Rhode Island House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings on March 26, 2025, on the assault weapon ban bill. Supporters are encouraged to attend and testify or write letters in favor of the bill. We can and will get this done! How to send a letter: rilegislature.gov/SiteAssets/Wri…

Gotta say, RI needs serious public records reform. Public records should be easily obtainable and free from interference from a local bureaucrat. This bill definitely goes in the wrong direction. bostonglobe.com/2025/03/14/met…

Thank you channel 12 for fixing the error. Good summary of the bill on their website.
Channel 12 needs to go back and do some homework and read the bill. Their chart is inaccurate. Shotguns with detachable mags AND certain features are out. Detachable mags on their own isn’t an issue. Who’s the copy editor? wpri.com/news/politics/…
