Rhode Island Policy Reporter

My friend Tom Sgouros has a lot of varied interests. He's a trained film maker and artist, a great juggler and former circus impresario, a pretty good self-trained electrical engineer and robot builder, and in his copious free time, he is a policy wonk.


He's recently decided to start a newsletter devoted to Rhode Island policy. Named the Rhode Island Policy Reporter, it's a more or less monthly newsletter that reports on state and federal policy issues in and around the Ocean State. Each issue takes on a different subject and analyzes and reports upon Rhode Island policy. Taxes, the budget, health care, the environment, and other issues are all fair game.


I warn you, it's not for the faint of heart or mind. The newsletter delves deep into what the actors in these policy arenas are doing, not what they are saying. The newsletter is information-dense. Just warning you, in case you were allergic to information!


If you'd like, you can view the first two issues by PDF. The newsletter isn't free (It's $55 a year for individuals, and $110 a year for institutions) but hey, his kids need to eat, y'know?


If you'd like to subscribe, check out the website, or just send your check (or a bunch of small unmarked bills) to:
