Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Mayor DaSilva unveils East Providence's $209.9M FY27 proposed budget (eastbayri.com) — East Providence residents face a proposed $209.9 million city budget for FY27 that would raise the tax levy 3.5% while boosting school funding and covering rising pension, salary, and healthcare costs. The plan trims capital spending but still sets aside money for paving, traffic signal upgrades, and a new police cruiser, with the City Council's first budget hearing set for Sept. 29 at City Hall.
• How to prepare for a potential power outage (wpri.com) — A nor'easter is expected to hit East Providence Friday night into Saturday, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and the risk of power outages. Local agencies and utilities are lining up extra crews while urging residents to assemble emergency kits, charge devices, use generators safely, and report any outages or downed lines through official channels.
