 With over 33,000 fatalities occurring on the nation's highways each year, roadway safety remains one of the most challenging issues facing America. NETSC brings together government officials, law enforcement, business leaders, and advocacy groups from around the region to discuss trends, share best practices and explore innovative solutions in achieving safer roads and saving lives.
This year the conference focuses specifically on the unique driving habits and safety risks commonly associated with different age groups. Workshops will tackle the growing trends in dangerous behaviors such as wrong-way driving, distracted driving, and drugged driving; and local efforts to curb the devastating effect of these practices through engineering, education, and enforcement.  Governor Chafee has announced that the FY14 Preliminary Closing Statement, issued by the Department of Administration’s Office of Accounts and Control, shows the state ended fiscal year 2014 with a $68 million General Fund surplus.

Jimi Hendrix knew the power of experience. Heck, in the late 60’s they were totally turned on to the concept of experience: If you can just get your mind together, Then come on across to me, We'll hold hands an' then we'll watch the sun rise from the bottom of the sea, But first; Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Well, I have.  Dee DeQuattro (@DeeDeQuattro)
Buddy Cianci wins this week as it seems like the Jorge Elorza campaign might be imploding. Elorza with the new momentum of some of Brett Smiley’s supporter behind him seemed like a strong contender in the Democratic Mayoral Primary until his shoplifting charge was revealed.
