Providence has been hit with another anti-Semitic attack. This time RISD was the target. I call upon Mayor Elorza  to create the Providence Jewish Council. We need one more than ever. 

We had not one anti-Muslim attack in Providence since the creation of the mayors Muslim Advisory Council. I truly don't understand why the Mayor is hesitant to do so, let alone issue a public reason on why not. I encourage every single Jewish person in Rhode Island, let  alone Providence, to call  Mayor Jorge Elorza’s office and demand the creation of a meaningful Providence Jewish Council. 

If the Mayor truly cares about the Jewish community he should not only issue a response but create an empowered Council.

Car Tax Exemption

Elorza's FY17 budget raises the car tax exemption from $1000 to $2000.  

The exemption had once been as high as $6,000 in the City of Providence, which has the highest car tax rate in the state.  

Elorza had pledged during his campaign to raise the examption up from $1000 -- which will have budgetary implications, but had been an issue of importance to Elorza due to its impace on lower-income residents.
