There are fifteen candidates running to represent Rhode Island’s First Congressional District. But for such a crowded field, we haven’t heard much from them so far. We speak to Political Reporter Ian Donnis about what’s going on. And: libraries are the target of a national push to ban books that some consider “obscene” – and last week, the fight came to Rhode Island. We talk with three people opposed to a new bill in the state House aimed at school libraries. Also: local Lego artist Andy Grover pays tribute to Rhode Island’s historic buildings. All that and more in today’s edition of The Weekly Catch.
