Thx Council President @RachelRI for standing up for Providence renters! Our severe housing crisis has two facets 1) obscenely high costs and 2) dangerous conditions. We need rental registry keep kids safe. Then we need rent control and new public housing to secure affordability.
Outside @GovDanMcKee’s inauguration, advocates for the unhoused and the unhoused themselves are holding signs as a silent indictment on the Governor’s inaction on homelessness, and on the actions of the Governor in clearing homeless encampments.
It’s important to add that there is no question that Lugo hit Jennifer Rourke on the night of the rally.
The judge acknowledges that-however, says by doing so, Lugo was trying to keep “public order”

@zackmezera@liveunitedri Actually, I got the names mixed up, this is not the slumlord, this is the person paid to publicly spin and justify placing working families in deplorable conditions in the name of profit, I apologize.
@zackmezera@liveunitedri I used to serve on the @liveunitedri Community Advisory Board and I'm embarrassed to know this slumlord was/is as well. He's got no place in that work and I hope UWRI agrees
