Two cheers for @RIPTA_RI - after leaving my wallet on the bus yesterday two staff members tracked it down and held it for me at the Newport garage! Even got a follow up call this morning... Special thanks to Donald at the Newport garage! Way to put your riders first! 😁

A diverse coalition of private stakeholders argue that the funds raised by a new tax on tobacco & vaping products should be redistributed to focus on smoking related illness treatment and prevention not the general fund @PC_HPM @providencecol role playing
My @PC_HPM @providencecol student are wrestling with the consequences of RI decision to opt for a lump sum payment of tobacco settlement $ instead of using proceeds for ongoing prevention programs
Lobbyists are arguing for a piece of the pie in my legislative simulation... Providers and insurer reps seek reimbursement for smoking related care through new fund @providencecol @PC_HPM
Big question for my legislators... should additional tax revenue on cigarettes and vaping be targeted for public health prevention or should it revert to the general fund? @providencecol @PC_HPM
Legislators I'm my policy simulation are actively considering amendments to H6106 An Act Related to Taxation - Cigarette and Other Products Tax @PC_HPM @providencecol
Students in my policy analysis class @providencecol @PC_HPM are engaged in a lively debate about raising taxes on tobacco and vaping

Great ride to work on one of @RIPTA_RI new 2019 buses! Love the new car smell and the comfy seats! 👍 – at Wakefield, RI
Perfect ending to a beautiful spring day: Filed my final grades @providencecol, after which my daughter - a college sophomore - asks to play a game of catch in the backyard. What's better than that?
Today, more than ever, we need to cultivate better conversations about the challenges we face. We must seek to bridge the gaps that divide us as a nation - even if doing so is often frustrating and hard.
I agree with @ewarren that our media is too polarized, but I don't believe we should stop talking to people who don't agree with us. Our crisis of division calls for meeting people where they are and putting new, inclusive ideas forward. Excited to be on @EveningEdit tonight.

NEW: @CareNewEngland slams Lifespan for "fear-mongering" over Partners + launches pro-deal website
"There's no question that Partners and the Brigham are world-class ... How can that be bad to RI? I don't get it."

SLAM’s Landscape Architecture & Planning Studio transformed a busy city street into a pedestrian heaven with green space, garden-like grounds and improved campus accessibility. The process stitched together a
previously divided @providencecol campus. #WLAM2019
