A new analysis by the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council warns the state’s latest 10-year plan doesn’t provide enough funding to maintain its bridges and improve key state roads.

Our school funding system cries out for more state oversight and accountability. State taxpayers have been footing most of the bill over the past several years.
