8 Arrested At Narragansett Town Beach Sunday: Police - Narragansett-South Kingstown, RI - A crowd of several hundred people "became hostile to officers" following a disorderly conduct arrest, police said.
To meet the mandatory greenhouse-gas reduction goals Rhode Island set earlier this year, state environmental officials Wednesday said lawmakers must join a proposed regional transportation carbon-pricing pact.
The Transportation Climate Initiative, which Rhode Island officials have been working on with counterparts from Massachusetts and other northeastern states, would cap diesel and gasoline emissions and charge wholesalers for their contribution to them.
Since taking office in March, Gov. Dan McKee has been noncommittal about the multi-state TCI plan his predecessor Gina Raimondo helped draw up.
But after some initial misgivings, McKee signed the Act on Climate requiring net zero emissions by 2050. And on Wednesday, his administration s Department of Environmental Management made clear it is enthusiastic about the Transportation Climate Initiative.
