AGP Executive Report

Last update: 25 minutes ago

Automated License Plate Readers in RI: Gov. Dan McKee ordered a 60-day pause on new Flock ALPR camera installations and directed State Police to lead a statewide review of standards and data privacy controls, as towns like Tiverton debate whether to expand or reject the tech and residents push back on surveillance and data-sharing. New England Utility Merger Fight: Rhode Island joined other New England governors opposing the NextEra-Dominion merger, warning it could concentrate leverage, disrupt infrastructure progress, and raise costs for ratepayers. RI Cannabis Licensing: A federal judge lifted a block on Rhode Island’s marijuana retail licensing process, clearing the way for a restarted application pathway after residency rules were struck down. Federal Hill Landmark Makeover: Providence’s Federal Hill arch and La Pigna are set for restoration, including cleaning, new lighting, and gilding the pinecone in 24-karat gold. Legal/Policy Whistleblower Fallout: Whistleblowers allege Trump-era DOJ/HHS antisemitism probes at Ivy League schools were predetermined and politically motivated, setting up new scrutiny of federal civil-rights enforcement. Transportation/Travel: Allegiant announced nine new nonstop Florida routes, including seasonal service from T.F. Green.
