Rhode Island House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello and Senate President Dominick Ruggerio held a brief meeting Tuesday at the Statehouse. But they reported no progress in solving the almost-month long impasse over the state budget.
Mattiello’s office says the two men expect to meet again in the near future.
On Monday), Ruggerio met with his leadership team in the Senate. He said he asked for their thoughts on the budget stalemate.
The state is operating for now under the terms of last year’s budget. That will mean less revenue for cities and towns when state payments go out later this month.
