Umm these people are voted in…. So how are any of them affirmative action hires?

East side

well isn't affirmative action race based, why wouldn't it apply to city council then.

What does that have to do with this post and your complaint?

So is affirmative action but that's still legal right?

Nope, in fact they sent me a collections bill for the bill I paid early last month.

Don't worry they make it all back plus with the rate increases.

It could be immigration from anywhere to be honest but let the numbers get closer and don't favor one group for another. Keep it equal across the board.

Wow now she looks like a Native person however she checks off Hispanic. Trying to see if we ever had a native person from any type of tribe here no Elizabeth Warren's of course.

I suppose if you’re Norwegian, but you hate other Norwegian people, food, and culture and just want to go to a Guy Fieri Branded restaurant every day, it’d make sense? That’s a very small niche tho

what neighborhood?

It was laughable when Former Guy said he wanted people to migrate from Norway. What Norwegian in their right mind would give up socialized healthcare, college, retirement, long term care, childbirth benefits, etc?

I paid an extra 5k for a second parking space at my condo. Additional ~300 a year in property taxes. It's covered garage spot I could rent out for about 100 a month minimum.p

>Rhode Island Energy says it began processing a $63.92 credit on customers’ electric bills and a $64.44 credit on customers’ gas bills issued after November 4, 2022. Customers who receive both electricity and gas from Rhode Island Energy will receive both credits.

If you used less $ than that (or like me also sell solar back to the grid), you will have a zero or negative balance, and hence nothing to pay. You still have a "bill", though, that you can see on their website.

>Native American person

Ward 14 Shelley Peterson was born in Peru and something like 90% of people from Peru have at least some mixed indigenous ancestry.

In general, it is 100% true statement to say that the U.S. needs a lot more foreign immigration than we currently have and it definitely should not be focused on white european countries, like the last administration wanted.

That’s illogical

>Providence swears in most diverse City Council ever with queer female leader

Correctomundo

So it can’t be diverse unless it has every race?

Agreed.

It is like the term “people of color”, “diversity” just means not all white.

They’re both pretty useless terms and seem to be used for expedience.

Take out the PI, never in my 30 plus years have I ever seen Pacific Islanders over here except the guys who played football for college or the NE Patriots.

I don't think anything nefarious either but I do think there is something going on with voter demographics. Some groups get the blind eye turned on immigration while others don't even get that opportunity.

Brett Smiley is being inaugurated as mayor while we speak. He's married to one of the biggest realtors in the state (no conflict of interest to be found there lol). Send him a message. info@smileyformayor.com

Yeah, something could be the most diverse group so far, be incredibly representative of the larger population, yet still not include every single possible demographic. That doesn't make it not diverse.

Given the history of society and politics, the description "diverse" just means "not just a bunch of white men."

$35 ??

A 10,000 sq ft lot on Medway St, - land alone is assessed at $574,000. You could fit parking for about 30 cars. About $19,000 per space.

What else worth $19k could you possibly rent for $35/mo?

Welcome to America where we make sure every car can afford a home!!

Could we do this for Human Beings? No! That would be socialism!
