AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

State Budget & Tax Policy: Rhode Island’s House approved a record $15.2B FY2027 budget, including a phased-in millionaires tax, plus added funding for healthcare, families, and RIPTA; Republicans voted no, arguing the tax and spending growth will hurt affordability. Historic Preservation Funding: Secretary of State Gregg Amore backed a $45M bond question for a Rhode Island State History Center, aimed at giving the state’s key documents a permanent home ahead of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Energy & Data Centers: A weekly climate roundup highlights mounting pressure on power grids as data centers expand, alongside a UN report detailing huge electricity and water use tied to AI-driven growth. Legal & Immigration: A Rhode Island federal judge blocked parts of the Trump immigration agenda that limited asylum and other benefits for migrants from 39 countries, calling the rules unlawful. Local Business & Retail: Rhode Island lawmakers advanced a bill requiring staffed grocery checkout lanes alongside self-checkout limits, drawing debate over whether it will slow lines. Consumer Watch: Gas prices stayed volatile in Rhode Island’s counties, with GasBuddy reporting the lowest midgrade and regular deals clustered in specific stations.
