NEW LOCATION! This Friday’s East Providence free #AARPRI “Fraud Fighting Fridays" document shredding has moved from the Robert E. Rock Senior Center to WEAVER LIBRARY.
Rhode Islanders from @AARPRI were at the State House today to deliver a petition with 5,200+ signatures calling on the General Assembly to pass my proposal to finally end the state tax on Social Security.
It’s time to pass this proposal—and my full Affordability for All agenda.

The House today passed legislation introduced by House Speaker Pro Tempore Brian Patrick Kennedy that would criminalize deed theft — an increasingly common practice that bold scammers use to actually steal homes and real estate.
Deed theft typically involves forged documents, such as a quit claim deed, to record a phony transfer of property ownership. Scammers will then seek to sell either the stolen vacant land or home or even rent it to turn a profit, forcing the real owners to head to court to reclaim their property.
“These scams, which often prey upon older homeowners, are becoming increasingly more common,” said Speaker Pro Tempore Kennedy. “It’s a particular risk to those who own unoccupied property and it can be a mess to untangle, with complicated and lengthy court hearings. This legislation would create a process to validate a person’s identity when he or she files a title deed and other real estate and personal property records.”

Today in Newport, I joined @AARPRI and @HealthyAgingRI to discuss my Affordability for All agenda to eliminate the state tax on Social Security. We need the General Assembly to pass this plan and deliver relief to seniors.
💸 These machines, which are frequently mistaken for ATMs, have been used by criminals to steal millions of dollars.
⛔️ Now one state has banned them.

“Eliminating the tax on Social Security payments — included in @GovDanMcKee’s proposed fiscal year 2027 budget — is only fair.
And yet Rhode Island is one of only eight states that still tax hard-earned Social Security payments.” @AARPRI https://t.co/feJHcPpXzh
