Rhode Island has a State Song - here are the lyrics:
Herring gulls that dot the sky,
blue waves that paint the rocks,
water rich with Neptune’s life,
the boats that line the docks.
I see the lighthouse flickering
to help the sailors see.
There’s a place for everyone:
Rhode Island. It's for Me.

>>RI Policeman Charged For Shooting Delivers Testimony
(Warwick, RI) -- The prosecution and defense have rested in the assault trial of Pawtucket police officer Daniel Dolan. Taking the stand in Kent County Superior Court on Tuesday, Dolan testified that he believed a driver who sped past him on Route 95 was fleeing from a crime in June of 2021. The school resource officer said he spotted the vehicle in West Greenwich and intended to have a "fatherly chat" with the young driver behind the wheel. However, Dolan conceded under cross-examination that he did not have the authority to pull over 18-year-old Dominic Vincent, who was shot by Dolan as he tried to drive away. Closing arguments in the case are expected on Wednesday.

While the trail land is private, state Representative Joseph McNamara is proposing a bill that would permit the Department of Environmental Management to recognize and identify public rights-of-way to shoreline and water access for land owned by a private party. Another McNamara bill would amend the definition of solid waste to include PVC pipes, which would force the removal of materials that have remained at the factory site.
>>Senator Reed Asks FTC To Review Egg Prices
(Washington, DC) -- Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed is requesting that the Federal Trade Commission investigate potential price-gouging linked to the increase in egg prices. In the letter sent Tuesday, Reed said price-gouging and other deceptive practices by the country's largest egg companies appear to be contributing to cost increases for American consumers. The industry has blamed last year's avian flu outbreak, but Reed points to Department of Agriculture research which indicates the price hikes have been much larger in scale than the decreases in production.

Drones help run the nation's railroads. In order to run a safe railroad, tracks must be in good shape. Drones help get the job done. They do so by flying over rail yards and around bridges, allowing ground-penetrating radar and wayside sensors to identify possible track defects. Locomotives equipped with Positive Train Control (PTC) systems have on-board computer software that automatically stops a train in certain instances to reduce specific types of human-caused errors.

The Town of Cranston was created by the General Assembly in 1754 from a portion of Providence north of the Pawtuxet River. Historians debate whether the town was named after Governor, Samuel Cranston, the longest-serving Rhode Island governor, or his grandson, Thomas Cranston, who was serving as Speaker of the RI House of Representatives at the time that the town was created.
In the early 1770s town meetings were held at the taverns of Caleb Arnold and Nehemiah Knight where Cranstonians voted to oppose British Parliament and support the Patriot cause during the Revolutionary War. After losing much of its territory to neighboring towns and the city of Providence over the nineteenth century, Cranston itself became a city on 10 March 1910.
