AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Coastal enforcement: Rhode Island AG Peter Neronha has sued Quidnessett Country Club over a long-stalled 600-foot rock wall, alleging violations of state coastline rules and continued trespass on tidal lands—another chapter in the fight over shoreline access and public trust. Trans rights in court: A federal judge blocked the DOJ’s push for confidential Rhode Island hospital records involving transgender kids, calling the demand “unworthy of this trust.” Drought watch: Massachusetts is backsliding into drought after a brief March improvement, with Cape Cod and Nantucket still hit hard—while Rhode Island is noted as one of the few states not fully drought-free. Heat is coming: Forecasters warn a summer-warm-up kicks off this weekend. Shellfish culture: Quahog Week returns May 17–23, spotlighting Narragansett Bay’s quahog economy and water-quality protections.
