Ending State Aid for Education

Tuesday, 22 April 2008

BY ABBY FOX

Two bills sitting in committee in the state house and senate could, if passed, leave East Greenwich with no state aid for education. Rep. Edith Ajello of Providence, the deputy majority leader, and Rep. John Savage of East Providence proposed house bill 7957, “The Education Equity and Property Tax Relief Act,” that would re-allocate how much state aid every town receives. The same day in February, Sen. Hannah Gallo of Cranston and Sen. Rhoda Perry of Providence proposed senate bill 2650, with the same title by the chief purchasing officer.

Hurricane of '38 in new book

HOPKINTON – A soft breeze drifted through the small towns of New England on the morning of Sept. 21, 1938. The sun smiled down brightly, deceiving the population. In just a matter of hours, the shoreline and the landscape would be unrecognizable. Hundreds of people who got out of bed that morning as if it would be just another autumn day, would be dead or missing. And history would write a major chapter in tragedy.
