Free school breakfast and lunch should be on the policy list of every progressive. Levels the playing field for kids and ensures basic needs get met.

I'll be a guest teacher at the Wheeler School next month, too. If you or someone you know is a New England teacher that would like a real live cartographer to come to your school and do some hands-on activities about maps, geography or astronomy, please reach out!

Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

“Utah became the first state to legalize plug-in solar systems last year. Nine others, including New Jersey, Virginia and Colorado, have joined it, and lawmakers in California, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and several other states are considering doing so.”

I don’t think most people understand how hard you have to work to be a FIFA referee, much less be selected to officiate in the World Cup. This is heartbreaking on so many levels, and such a stain on this country.

Energy experts agree: The governor's plan to reduce energy costs is a short-term fix and long-term mistake "...while it may save folks a little bit of money next year... over the life of the programs and into the future for Rhode Island, we’re going to be paying more for energy, not less.”

I agree and I'll add one more thing: Something I love about his columns and his approach to persuasion is that he regularly cites history. Not just what happened five days ago but what happened two hundred years ago. I learn things from his columns all the time.
