This week’s State Report centers on the House’s passage of a $2.5 million supplemental tax bill that aims to help the cash-strapped city of Woonsocket. Also on the docket are a pair of newly passed bills designed to aid the state’s workforce: one that raises the state’s minimum wage and another that intends to get Rhode Islanders back to work.

Travis Rowley: Sheldon Whitehouse: A Radical Embarrassment
Saturday, May 25, 2013
As many became rightfully upset over the fact that US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse politicized the deadly storm that struck Oklahoma this week – and then dishonestly excused his reference to “cyclones in Oklahoma” as a mere “coincidence” – the real story behind Whitehouse’s speech from the floor of the US Senate went largely unnoticed.
Skywatching: Supermoon in June + More
Saturday, May 25, 2013
Though the month of June does provide much more reasonable temperatures for amateur astronomers to enjoy their hobby, most of us do not welcome the summer months. Why? The sky doesn’t get sufficiently dark for deep sky objects (galaxies and nebulae) until close to 10:00pm as we near the summer solstice on June 21 at 1:04am. And morning twilight begins between 3:30 and 4:00am! These circumstances definitely limit a serious stargazer’s observing session.

I’m fitter, faster, more mobile, and the healthiest I’ve ever been. Maybe not as strong as I was, but I am a lot lighter, too.

Classical Basketball to Move Forward Without Two Stars
Saturday, May 25, 2013
Classical Purple boys basketball head coach John Kavanagh had the luxury last season of having not only one, but two career 1,000 point scorers to put on the court with First Team All-State selection and junior point guard Kealen Ives, resulting in the Purple winning their first Division I boys basketball state title since the early 1980's. However, Kavanagh won't have that luxury next season. Batista and Toe will graduate in just a couple of weeks, leaving behind a program that they essentially built over their last four years at Classical.
