readers who want t help save RIPTA should know it is not too late to make an official comment about the cuts and the underlying lack of funding - at ripta.com you can see details about hearings still to come in Newport on Feb 15, URI-Kingston Feb 19, Pawtucket Feb 20, West Warwick Feb 21.

Can someone simply submit Steve Alquist’s piece, verbatim, to RIPTA? This RIPTA crisis is more about individual leaders and the decay of civic virtue than it is about advocating for piecemeal restoration of what is being lost.

The rich think that they'll survive climate chaos just fine. I took that message to Washington DC for Forward with Climate in 2013. It was true then; it is true now eleven years later, almost exactly to the day.
