AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Public Safety: Newport Hospital was hit by a second “swatting” bomb threat in just over a week, triggering a police sweep and a state bomb-detection K-9 search; no credible danger was found, and investigators say the calls are dangerous and unlawful. Health Watch: Tick season is getting worse—ER visits for tick bites are at their highest for this time of year since 2017, with Lyme treatment demand rising as warmer weather expands tick activity. Weather: Monday turns a bit cooler, but record heat is building for Tuesday and Wednesday, with humidity climbing and storms possible. Housing & Cost of Living: A new analysis finds most Americans can’t afford newly built homes—65% are priced out nationwide, with many states above 80%. Community & Culture: La CASA opened in Boston’s South End with a weekend of Latino arts and activism, while Rhode Island’s Oyster and Chowder Festival kicked off in Newport. Sports: Boston Cannons routed Philadelphia 19-5 in Pawtucket, and Rhode Island Rowing won its third straight Atlantic 10 title.
