AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Budget Watch: Rhode Island lawmakers are set to rewrite Gov. Dan McKee’s $14.9B budget tonight, with big questions hanging over a possible millionaire’s tax and whether an inspector general office makes the cut. Housing & Policy: A RIPEC report says the state’s housing spending is driving up costs while producing too few units, and the response is already shaping the debate. Workforce & Skills: Mt. Hope High School’s CTE program is expanding for 2026-27, adding construction management and an EMT course. Energy & Fisheries: URI graduate research is studying how offshore wind structures affect Jonah crabs—key to Southern New England fisheries as lobsters shift. Regulatory Fight: The CFTC is pushing to block Rhode Island from regulating federally licensed prediction markets, escalating a broader court battle over who controls the space. Health Access: CVS is restoring coverage for Zepbound on its formulary, a move that could expand access for millions, including Rhode Island-based CVS Health members. Local Business/Consumer: A power recliner switch recall affects furniture sold in RI and nearby states after reports of fires and burning. Water Supply: Rhode Island issued a statewide drought advisory, urging voluntary conservation as precipitation and groundwater remain low.
