 Sen. Juan M. Pichardo (D-Dist. 2, Providence) on Monday joined other leaders here in Rhode Island in speaking in support of President Obama’s executive order on immigration. The press conference was held in light of the recent action by a federal court judge in Texas that will delay its implementation.
“I am encouraged because we have the constitution on our side,” said Deputy Majority Leader Pichardo. “We have precedence on our side. And growing public opinion is even on our side.”
This week on The Wild Side, David Clyde spoke to Kyle about his experiences and to bring attention to an important cause, #22Kill, an initiative by Honor Courage Commitment, Inc., to raise awareness to a startling statistic regarding veteran suicide.

Pawtucket is a big loser this week as the new owners of the PawSox announced its intention to move the team from Pawtucket to Providence -- possibly on the vacant 195 land. This move has the potential to devastate the already depressed city of Pawtucket. Meanwhile, Providence stands to make huge gains. Not only will it bring people to the city but it will encourage the development of the I-195 land, which has remained vacant for more than two years. Now, Pawtucket will be left with an empty stadium and less visitors to the city.  This week on the Rotunda, Scott Rotondo was joined by the head of the Rhode Island Young Republicans (and longtime girlfriend to Cranston Mayor Allan Fung), Barbara Ann Fenton to discuss the rebirth of the Young Republicans and the significant impact they had on the 2014 election by bringing out young candidiates -- especially candidates in the 'urban core'.

Ending lingering uncertainty about the future of the Open Internet, the Federal Communications Commission today set sustainable rules of the roads that will protect free expression and innovation on the Internet and promote investment in the nation’s broadband networks.
The FCC has long been committed to protecting and promoting an Internet that nurtures freedom of speech and expression, supports innovation and commerce, and incentivizes expansion and investment by America’s broadband providers. But the agency’s attempts to implement enforceable, sustainable rules to protect the Open Internet have been twice struck down by the courts. |
