The fight over who has access to Rhode Island’s shorelines has taken a major step forward. South County Bureau Reporter Alex Nunes gives us the latest. Also, The Golden Rule peace boat makes a stop in Providence this weekend on its months-long journey around the country to spread a message of peace and nuclear abolition. We talk about the issues (and the role Rhode Island plays) with local peace activist Madeline Labriola; Bill Hartung, Senior Research Fellow at the Quincy Institute; and Bob Watt, a member of Veterans for Peace, the organization behind the Golden Rule. Plus: Political Reporter Ian Donnis stops by to break down the week in politics; we talk with Peter Evangelista, Brendan Kinnell and Beth Barron about Providence Porchfest; local chef Sherry Pocknett won a James Beard Award this week; and we share a few tips on what to do this weekend.
