I saw that article last night on the NYT website, right above one about how the UN might go out of business because it's running out of money. There's gotta be some meaning to that.

For those who don't follow Rhode Island public records law closely (I'm not judging!) the Pawtucket Police Department has a long history of trying to avoid transparency and the accountability that comes along with that.
