The Line That Didn’t Land
I stood in the back of Good Shepherd Chapel on the evening of April 15, 2026, at the Steam Plant Demolition Town Hall, watching people adjust scarves and jackets before the meeting began. Benjamin Jones, President and CEO of RIOC, thanked us for attending and, without a pause, said he was “pleased to host tonight’s town hall on the city’s demolition of its steam plant.” The demolition, in other words, was not up for discussion.
This is great news and again thank you to AM Seawright for filling Covid support gaps where RIOC continue to fail completely.
Recognition should also be extended to our local Duane Reade / Walgreens who continue to provide Moderna 1st, 2nd and booster shots (including Moderna as a mixed booster) every day of the week.
Rebecca is one of the most publically oriented electeds, and here, she’s done solid work again. Got all three of my shots at Duane Reade and each were handled with professionalism as the highest.
