@molochofficial it doesn't hold a candle to Attleboro, btw, who had to implement water restrictions because an employee left a valve open and seven feet of water escaped their reservoir

@molochofficial this is how I learned Pawtucket, despite being next to Providence, doesn't get its water from the Scituate Reservoir, but reservoirs located in Massachusetts
New post: I think folks are failing to grasp what a watershed election this was for the politics of monopoly utility companies.
Governors are the most important people to utility regulation in most states. The new ones ran on aggressive utility accountability platforms. 1/9
Wow, TIL that Adam Hamilton had as a core part of his energy campaign platform... requiring competitive bidding for transmission projects rather than allowing allowing incumbent utilities to monopolize them(!?!?!) h/t @robinsonmeyer and @heatmap_news newsletter.
Today will make day 3 of 70° for the Providence area. It's a heat wave....November style.
We may hit 70 again tomorrow. Only 3 other times have we had 4 or more consecutive days of 70+ in November.
In 1938 & 2022, we hit 70 in Nov 4 straight days. In Nov 2020, 6 straight days.
As you catch up on Annie Andrews: she had a really interesting health platform, with items like ending prior authorization, banning private equity firms from owning hospitals, shutting down the gaming of Medicare Advantage and more.
