Coverage here runs across the legislature and the governor's office, statewide elections, the courts and the health care, education and maritime tourism sectors that anchor the Rhode Island economy.

Rhode Island's size means that a single large employer, institution or infrastructure project can shift the state's economic picture in ways that would register only modestly elsewhere. The long-term fiscal health of the state pension system and the relationship between Providence's economy and the state budget are the structural subjects that return most reliably each legislative session.
