Last update: 4 hours ago

Kennedy Center Construction Fallout: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) says whistleblowers allege rushed Kennedy Center renovations tied to President Donald Trump’s “aesthetic whims,” citing problems like rusting steel under fresh paint and work that may need tearing out and rebuilding. AI Tools and Work Rules: A new Tesla memo reportedly pushes employees toward Grok while a separate spending cap limits other AI tools—raising questions about cost control and influence over engineering workflows. RI Energy Project Update: Utility work for the Revity Solar Farm is underway in Hopkinton along Route 3/Route 216 to connect to Rhode Island Energy’s Bradford substation, with residents asking for more notice about road impacts. Cash App Accountability: AG Kwame Raoul announced a $45M multistate settlement with Block over Cash App deceptive practices and fraud protections, with Illinois receiving $1.1M. Transportation: RIDOT plans phased lane shifts on Route 37 in Cranston starting July 17 for bridge demolition tied to a $142.8M bridge replacement program. Workforce Talent Pipeline: Rhode Island Commerce opened applications for the Wavemaker Fellowship, offering $1,000–$6,000 refundable credits for eligible STEM/design, healthcare, and education professionals. Food Safety: Aldi recalled frozen kimchi & tofu kimbap in multiple states, including Rhode Island, due to undeclared fish (tuna) allergen labeling. Local Business Hiring: DeCotis Specialty Insurance hired Frank Moran Jr. as a production underwriter, expanding personal lines efforts across RI and nearby markets. Marine Industry Sales: Pettit Paint named Brandon Michaud as marine sales rep covering Connecticut and Rhode Island. Sailing STEM Event: The America’s Cup Hall of Fame Challenge returns Oct. 3-4 in Newport with four historic 12-metre yachts supporting STEM education.
