The race for Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District is getting crowded, and there may still be more names jumping into the race. We talk with our Political Reporter Ian Donnis about the growing field of candidates. And there’s once again a battle over our shorelines in the General Assembly. South County Bureau Reporter Alex Nunes talks to us about the most recent fight for access. Plus, South Coast Bureau Reporter Ben Berke paid a visit to the winning bakery in the Fall River-New Bedford pasteis de nata throwdown. And finally, we review a comedy at Trinity Rep about women’s rights and politics in the early 1970s.
