Seven measures totaling $400 million will go before voters in a state whose gubernatorial transition is on hold.

The little-known lieutenant governor is in line to succeed Gov. Gina Raimondo, who President-elect Joe Biden nominated to be secretary of commerce.

President-elect Joe Biden's cabinet picks include the governor and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, the latter for Labor Secretary.

Gov. Gina Raimondo signed the $12.8 billion FY21 budget bill, which includes seven ballot questions on $400 million worth of projects.

For the last seven years, he held a similar position for U.S. Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I.

The election defeat of House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello changes the Ocean State's political playing field as it faces a $275 million deficit.

East Providence, despite the pandemic, has several economic development projects in the pipeline, including brownfield conversions of oil tanks to mixed-use.

Gov. Gina Raimondo and top lawmakers want a clearer picture from Washington over coronavirus relief aid.

State officials would break up the Kennedy Plaza depot in Providence and create smaller hubs around the city, using bond money voters approved six years ago.

The governor said the group will craft recommendations to build economic resiliency and curb costs to prepare for a post-coronavirus future.
