 We welcome back Senator Whitehouse to provide a little insight on issues of interest to the constituency, locally, regionally and nationally. He's been busy getting things done for Rhode Island, working in concert with our delegation and select bi-partisan leaders. "USDOT is freeing a quarter billion dollars we had secured for the I-95 bridge repairs on top of our previously announced $221 million emergency Washington Bridge funding,” He credits Chairperson Capito of United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works for the bi-partisan assistance. He also touts The INFRA Program he spearheaded, through the Environment and Public Works Committee, which will provide grant-funded support for continued economic growth at Quonset and finally add the missing move to go between Route 4 and I-95. If you've traveled 95 South, you most likely have had to perform the off/on maneuver to get to Route 4, which was hassle. Listen as he rails against "bad actors" known as pirate fishing fleets, who pillage our waters without concern of local laws or safety. There's also a cancer in our democracy in the form "dark money", thanks to "Citzens United", special interests with unlimited amounts of money, with the goal of swaying voters and influencing elections. The disparity of drugs prices outside of the USA, to our detriment is also discussed. As was noted, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse has been busy!
