Superior Court judge Sarah Taft-Carter cleared the way for city's landmark deal to proceed as planned with her ruling today.

Providence’s landmark pension reform changes have survived a key hurdle as Superior Court Judge Sarah Taft-Carter has just issues a ruling that the deal agreed to by the city’s current firefighters, police offices and retirees is a fair, adequate and reasonable settlement.

More on this story as it develops.
