PROVIDENCE — Six Rhode Island car dealerships have reached settlements with state Attorney General Peter Neronha after prosecutors alleged last month the retailers committed deceptive sales practices by charging or attempting to charge customers “add-on warranty” fees that were not advertised in vehicle prices. Flood Ford of East Greenwich, Flood Mazda of East Greenwich, Flood Ford of Narragansett, Valenti Subaru of Westerly, Valenti Toyota of Westerly, and Saccucci Honda of Middletown will collectively pay out more than $1 million to the state and in refunds to customers – which total $874,958, alone – under the terms of the three settlements, Neronha’s office announced Thursday. Customers who paid the fee since Jan. 1, 2021 will receive between $53 and $83 each as a result of the settlements and will also retain the benefits of the warranty, officials said. Checks will be sent approximately 60 days after the settlements are formally approved in court. #rhodeisland #settlement #warranty #consumer #auto #autodealer #dealer #dealership #refunds https://lnkd.in/dqrgq-8y

I wrote about Snowtown, the mixed-race Providence neighborhood that was wiped out to build the Rhode Island State House, a railroad station, and other businesses on Smith Hill. The properties along Francis, Smith and Gaspee streets were condemned. The residents vanished into the city and their stories went untold for more than 120 years. Now, historians and researchers with to The Snowtown Project tell the Globe they aim to put the people of Snowtown “back into the imagination, as real as people who matter, as someone that we came from.” We chat with them on the Rhode Island Report podcast.

Four Barrington Public Schools students, inspired by the 2019 protests led by Swedish youth activist Greta Thunberg, started a club they hope will endure long after graduation.

Watching climate change is scary. Barrington students wanted local opportunities to take action, so they started a club. - The Boston Globe
