Alex Nunes has been reporting on shoreline access from our South County Bureau this week, and we want to hear from YOU! What do you think about Rhode Island's beach access?
⛱️ Do you think Rhode Island has enough public beach access?
⛱️Is too much of the coast in Rhode Island privatized and blocked off to average beachgoers?
⛱️Is it too difficult and too expensive to enjoy a day at the beach in Rhode Island?
Share your thoughts below!

In November, Fall River police officer Nicholas Hoar appeared in federal court to deny charges of filing false reports that allegedly covered up a beating he gave to a suspect outside the city’s police station.
It was not the first time Hoar has been accused of excessive force. Since following his brother into the department in 2016, Hoar, a fifth-generation Fall River policeman, had been exonerated by local authorities in five other excessive force investigations, until a suspect brought this latest complaint to the FBI.
Now, as the federal case triggers a closer examination of Hoar’s credibility, one family is hoping the FBI will investigate another case from Hoar’s past: the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Larry Ruiz Barreto.

A family is calling for the re-investigation of a fatal police shooting after the officer involved was recently charged with filing false reports in another case.

Today on Political Roundtable, Ian Donnis speaks with Dr. Megan Ranney, an emergency physician at Rhode Island Hospital and deputy dean at Brown’s School of Public Health.

Rhode Island’s 'housing czar,' Josh Saal, is stepping down after one year on the job, amid complaints about his attempts to address the state’s housing crisis.
Gov. Dan McKee hired Saal in 2021 from a job with New York City’s housing agency. That was after the General Assembly created a new post meant to focus on and lead efforts to address Rhode Island’s housing crisis.
Saal started on the job in January 2022, and the legislature last year approved $250 million to address housing needs through an array of programs.
But top lawmakers say too little progress has been made since then. Saal has also been criticized for efforts to assist people who lack housing, and his compilation of reports on the housing issue.

New from On Sports: We have turned the page on 2022 and the collapse of the Red Sox, Patriots, URI men’s basketball, and Brown football.
We have witnessed the rise of the Celtics, the PC Friars, the Bryant Bulldogs, and URI women’s basketball.
We have watched URI football become a consistent winner, a Providence kid, Jeremy Peña, become the World Series MVP, and a Johnston kid, Dan Mazzulla, become head coach of the Celtics.

Republican Tom Hodgson had run the county jails in Dartmouth and New Bedford for a quarter century, during which his charisma and his tough-on-crime approach toward inmates turned him into a local legend.
But details about Hodgson’s rehabilitation programs were often hard to pin down. In recent state-mandated reports, for instance, the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office left numerous fields blank about the size and scope of dozens of its programs.
The new sheriff, Paul Heroux, a technocrat with degrees from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and the London School of Economics, is promising to modernize Bristol County’s jails with a data-driven approach to corrections. Heroux was sworn in Tuesday night.

Chasing The Fix explores some of the barriers faced by people experiencing homelessness who also are struggling with addiction.
