AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

PCB Payoff: Monsanto/Bayer agreed to pay Rhode Island up to $62.5M to address long-running PCB pollution claims, with more money possible depending on related litigation outcomes—another step in a widening cleanup bill across multiple states. Heat & Air: A sudden spring heat surge hit the region hard, with Boston hitting 96°F and Providence and other cities seeing record highs, while Rhode Island also faced unhealthy ozone for sensitive groups—a reminder that hotter weather can mean tougher breathing days. Outdoors Safety: With tick season ramping up, reports note rising tick bites and ER visits, and officials are urging extra caution before and during time outside. Local Watch: At Narragansett Town Beach, three people were stabbed and two were arrested amid chaotic disturbances, police say. Coastline Life: A porbeagle shark was spotted in shallow waters near Narragansett, and researchers say warmer water may be shifting what shows up near shore.
