The state agency that never makes a mistake apparently forgot what they posted in August: “Please be advised that the RIOC Board of Directors meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday, September 2nd, 2021, has been rescheduled and will be held on Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at 5:30 PM at the Cultural Center Theater (548 Main St.).”
So, we’re back to Zoom on line.
Important note: RIOC’s board welcomes public comment before every official meeting. Comments, positive, negative or anywhere between, will be read by an official instead of spoken in person. Post your comments by using this link.

It is October 20, 2022, and the Cultural Center Theater at 548 Main Street has again been made to serve as a boardroom, its folding tables carrying the temporary authority of the state. The folding tables are perfect for RIOC. They support anything, question nothing and collapse under pressure. At 5:45 p.m., Chair Designee Alex Valella calls the meeting to order.
