water costs
Patch, RI: An Coventry condo association reported that their billing for water went up more than quadruple in comparison to their previous quarter payment.

"Instead of scrambling to make excuses that make no sense, it's time for the Kent County Water Authority to recognize that something has gone seriously wrong with their billing and take corrective action to address the problem," Sen. Leonidas Raptakis said. "This problem is only going to explode when they send the remaining two-thirds of their bills out and people see they are being wildly overcharged. I'm not going away, my legislative colleagues aren't going away and consumers being victimized by this agency are not going away. The KWCA needs to fix this mess and they need to do it now."

ABC6 News: "PROVIDENCE, RI: After a protest blocked Route 95 North on Monday night, Senator Lou Raptakis (D-Dist. 33, Coventry, East Greenwich, West Greenwich) plans to reintroduce bipartisan legislation that would make blocking a highway a felony charge...

Senator Raptakis said, though the protests were meant to be peaceful, they could’ve proved to be dangerous to others.

You’re gonna endanger lives, you’re gonna endanger yourself, you’re gonna endanger many Rhode Islanders heading to hospitals for an emergency,” Raptakis said to ABC6 on Tuesday. “You cannot impede traffic, especially endangering lives where this can spiral out of control.”
