2019 RI law driving up firefighter overtime bills

“These are unfunded mandates, nobody is paying for them except for the taxpayers and it’s about to come home to roost,” Corrigan said, adding that Central Coventry fought the overtime bill unsuccessfully when the legislation made its way through the House and Senate two years ago.
The 2019 mandate came in a largely overlooked sentence tacked on to the end of a bill requiring fire departments to pay overtime for any hours over 42 in a week. It reads: “For the purposes of this section, hours worked shall include all paid leave.”
“If I could end it I would, because we just can’t afford it,” Picozzi said, adding that he spoke Tuesday with Brian Daniels, executive director for the Rhode Island League of Cities and Towns, as the issue is now on the radar screen of all cities and towns in Rhode Island. ....

Warwick Mayor Frank Picozzi recently asked his administration to review a practice that allows firefighters to earn overtime without working a full week.
WARWICK Mayor Frank J. Picozzi says the city is studying its options after learning that a bill passed two years ago by the General Assembly paved the way for all firefighters in Rhode Island to use sick and vacation pay to trigger overtime.
A Hummel Report investigation, published in the Providence Sunday Journal, detailed the longtime past practice of Warwick firefighters using sick and vacation pay to boost a workweek, resulting in the city having to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in overtime. It is not formalized in the firefighters contract, and before 2019 state law would have allowed the city to end the practice with a 30-day notice. ....

Patrick Anderson, The Providence Journal
Political skirmishes haven t broken out in Rhode Island over vaccine skepticism like they have in other states, but Republicans here remain quieter than Democrats on the question of whether to get COVID-19 shots.
In response to a Journal inquiry, three of the 14 Republicans in the Rhode Island General Assembly said they had been or were planning to get vaccinated.
House GOP Leader Blake Filippi of Block Island was the only other lawmaker to respond, writing: Respectfully, I won’t respond to any query that seeks details on such personal and private medical decisions. ....
