AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Tech-Fraud Crackdown: The FBI shut down an India-based tech-support call center that targeted elderly Americans, and two U.S. executives tied to the operation—Adam Young and Harrison Gevirtz—pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony, with sentencing set for June 16. Smith Hill Watch: Rhode Island lawmakers are debating a new state inspector general push, with House Speaker Christopher Blazejewski backing a narrower plan focused on executive-branch spending and actions, while other proposals compete for power and scope. Local Business & Jobs: Chariho seniors are turning welding wins into career momentum, while a Bristol landscaping bookkeeper faces federal charges over unpaid payroll taxes. Housing & Cost Pressure: A new affordability index finds homeownership costs in major metros are running at or above renter income—Providence is cited at about 83%—as fuel prices keep squeezing summer travel plans. Sports & Community: Rhode Island’s World Cup “Ocean State 2026” effort is recruiting volunteers for wayfinding during the June 11–July 19 soccer stretch.
