 Lt. Governor’s Office, Mayor Baldelli-Hunt to Host Energy-Shopping Info Session in Woonsocket

 

WOONSOCKET, RI -- On Thursday, August 31st at 1:00 p.m., Lt. Governor Dan McKee’s Office will partner with Woonsocket Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt to host an Empower RI information session at the Woonsocket Harris Public Library to help ratepayers learn to safely shop for electric suppliers and save on their electric bills.

 

During the information session, members of Lt. Governor McKee’s staff and the Mayor will be available to answer questions about Empower RI (www.ri.gov/EmpowerRI), an energy-shopping website McKee helped launch in 2016. Staff members will also demonstrate how ratepayers can switch their supplier online and potentially circumvent National Grid’s rate increase set to go into effect on October 1st.

 

The session is free and open to the public. Residents wishing to learn more are asked to bring their most recent electric bills to the session between 1:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. in the library’s first floor conference room.

 

Over the next few weeks, the lieutenant governor’s office will partner with municipal leaders to host daytime and evening Empower RI information sessions across the state.

Opening statements are done for the day in former President Trump's hush money trial. Prosecutors accuse the former President of falsifying business records to cover up payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016 over an affair. Trump's defense says there was no criminal scheme and accuse Daniels of trying to cash in on the allegations. The judge in the case will decide Tuesday if Trump has violated his gag-order, barring him from criticizing anyone connected to the case. Prosecutors want him fined three-thousand bucks.        Pro-Palestinian protests on the campus of Columbia University are causing classes to go virtual. Today marks day six of demonstrations and the school's president is calling it a crisis. Protesters are demanding the school to divest from companies that they say profit from Israel's violations of international law and Palestinian rights. Today marks Passover, a major Jewish holiday, that's set to begin this evening.       The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a key gun rights case. This involves so-called Ghost Guns that are made from kits and can be bought with no background check. The question now before the high court is whether the A-T-F has the power to change gun rules or if that must come from Congress.       Gas prices keep climbing in the U.S. The average price is about three-67 a gallon. Triple-A reports that's four cents higher than last week, but that's nothing compared to a Silicon Valley town in California. It's seven-29 a gallon at a Chevron gas station in Menlo Park.        Kroger and Albertsons are selling 166 more stores. The companies are trying to offload stores to address regulatory concerns that their proposed 25-billion-dollar merger will lead to higher prices and job losses. The 166 stores are added to another over 400 that are being sold to and operated by C&S.       The NBA playoffs continue with three games on tap tonight. First, the Orlando Magic will take on the Cavaliers in Cleveland for game two of their series. The Philadelphia 76ers will try to even their series at one game a piece when they play the Knicks in New York for game two, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers facing the Nuggets in Denver in game two of that series. ### Source
