Fairness, permanent record concerns pitted against public safety arguments.
The Senate and House have both approved bills eliminating the criminal charge for carrying an ounce or less of marijuana, which Gov. Lincoln Chafee said he's inclined to pass during a WPRO interview. The legislation passed the House in a 50 to 24 vote and passed the Senate in a 28 to 6 vote. Each bill must now pass in the opposite chamber in order to become law. If enacted, Rhode Island would become the 15th state to decriminalize marijuana. The legislation could save the state millions of dollars each year, clean the judicial dockets for more serious issues and take away the criminal stigma from an otherwise youthful indiscretion, Rep. John G. Edwards (D-Dist. 70, Tiverton, Portsmouth), a sponsor of the House bill, said. Woonsocket …

Kilmartin, is asking the Rhode Island congressional delegation to stand firm against a bid by a Massachusetts official to forestall limits on how much nitrogen and phosphorous a wastewater-treatment plant near Worcester is allowed to discharge into the Blackstone River. In a letter to the senators and representatives, Kilmartin accused the head of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), of taking an “anti-environmental position . . . at the expense of our beautiful (Narragansett) Bay.” In his letter, Kilmartin explained that pollution from the Worcester area, which eventually flows into Narragansett Bay, could cause “the slow bio-chemical strangulation…
