AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Nor’easter & RI preparedness: Rhode Island is bracing for an early-season nor’easter with damaging winds, heavy rain, coastal flooding, and possible power outages through the weekend, prompting Gov. Dan McKee to urge residents to charge devices and avoid risk. FEMA funding for first responders: Newport received a $68,000 FEMA grant for CPR devices, part of nearly $2.7 million in Assistance to Firefighters Grants across Rhode Island. Insurance oversight fight: State insurance regulators, via the NAIC, pushed back on Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s push for stronger federal oversight, saying states already stress-test insurers’ risk. Medicaid rule pushback: AG Aaron Ford joined a coalition opposing a CMS proposed rule that could threaten Medicaid funding and interfere with state insurance authority. RI business & jobs: Love & Honey Fried Chicken is seeking Massachusetts franchise operators after opening in Cranston, signaling continued East Coast expansion. Local governance & housing enforcement: Block Island officials moved to address illegal rental car vehicle storage, with zoning action tied to dozens of cars. Finance & consumer protection: Verizon told the FCC it won’t cut off customers if a copper landline replacement isn’t available. Sports card market: A Rhode Island card shop pull helped drive a Cooper Flagg NBA debut patch card sale for $8.04 million.
