Did you know? A person can steal your tv or pet and if either is worth over $1500 it's a felony - always. But they can steal your wages in ANY amount and it's a misdemeanor - always. How is that right? It isn't. Think it deters wage theft? It doesn't. Time to get this done.

High capacity magazine problem in RI is real. Of 143 gun cases we charged in last 4 months of 2021, 24 involved mags of 16-29 rounds. 14 involved mags of 30 rounds or more. More bullets in the air w/o reloading means more injury/death. Let's get the legislation banning them done.

It’s a misdemeanor to steal $10,000 of a worker’s wages. It’s a felony to steal a $1000 tv. That’s a problem. That’s not right. That’s an injustice. And it’s why we’ll keep fighting to fix it.
NEW: Rhode Island recovered about $1.6M of back wages unlawfully withheld from over 500 workers from 2020 through 2022.

Signs of a failing system? According to federal CMS data, median ER wait time in RI is 241 minutes. 4 hrs. That’s the median. Coming in at a stellar 49 out of 50 states. So next time someone tells you who cares if a hospital closes, tell them you do.

Is there an outcry from voters who voted early? Or are the calls coming from those who have long opposed early voting? If the latter, who cares? I believe most/all early voters understand they are getting convenience at the expense of knowledge of a late breaking surprise.
Democrat Don Carlson’s decision to drop out of Rhode Island’s First Congressional District race on Sunday is prompting renewed calls to limit early voting or to adopt ranked-choice voting.

I must say that it would be a highly unusual situation for the State Police to be conducting a criminal investigation involving two high ranking public officials for two months without contacting my office. In my 12 plus years as US Attorney & AG that has never happened. Ever.
Ex-DoA Director Jim Thorsen doesn't come off well here either

I asked this very question of my team today. Given what we’re seeing in solar industry, we need to inform RI’ers “How to go Green w/o getting ripped off.” We have to make this easy, not hard. Whether it be heat pumps/electric 🚗/solar panels. AG consumer team has new challenge.
My furnace is pretty old and I'm intrigued by switching to heat pumps. But boy, the number of different subsidy/incentive/rebate programs is kinda overwhelming.
There's clearly lots of money being thrown at this but will the average homeowner be able to navigate the process?

I’m w/ Lynn Blais on this one. Speaking broadly, there are too many non-profits that compensate top mgmt at a rate well beyond what’s reasonable. Running a non-profit ought to be a form of public service. You shouldn’t get paid as if you’re running US Steel. Need to ponder this.
Lifespan, RI's biggest nonprofit hospital group, paid CEO Tim Babienau $3.1 million in 2021

500 RI children are diagnosed with lead poisoning every year. 500. Remediating lead paint isn't difficult and it isn't expensive. If landlords won't do the right thing on their own, we'll keep taking them to court to make sure they do. Because children deserve better. Way better.

A judge told me once that if every day you wake up and the radio tells you it’s raining, then eventually you don’t listen to the radio anymore. Some of the best advice I’ve ever received. And worth passing on.

I’ve come to realize that among the first signs that a state’s healthcare system is failing is a lack of providers - you can’t find a doctor, or can’t see one for six months regardless of your symptoms. Even the most aggressive action by regulators can only solve for so long.

Let’s get this done. The CRMC has outlived its usefulness. A professional agency will make more rational decisions and better protect our beautiful coastline.
Advocates are making an end-of-session push for legislation that would eliminate the politically appointed Rhode Island's Coastal Resources Management Council — a major environmental issue in a state with 420 miles of coastline.

And let’s be clear ….. getting rid of a bunch of unqualified political appointees and private counsel and allowing the existing professional staff to do its job isn’t going to cost any more money. In fact, it will cost less. Because ludicrous illegal decisions cost money too.
Attorney General Peter Neronha blasted the Coastal Resources Management Council for giving the Quidnessett Country Club a chance to change the rules after it built a seawall at its North Kingstown golf course without permission.

Every week I sign a stack of letters to Rhode Island consumers confirming how we have resolved their issues favorably. Really proud of our consumer team in cases big and small.

Former AG and now Governor Maura Healey is a really smart person and lawyer and a savvy politician. Someone worth listening to.
Now we know why Gov. Healey didn't comment after the White House meeting. Very different message than Gov. McKee
