Providence City Councilor representing Ward 2. Development/comms director, @wrwcri.bsky.social. Mom to 3 in college & beyond. 20+ years in PVD with husband, friends, family, Al and Nicole the cats, & June the dog. Let’s make tomorrow better for everyone.
Day 1, I will stand up to RI Energy - an out of state, for-profit company. You can check out my specific plan on my website: www.SueAnderBois.com I am the only candidate for Lt Gov with a real plan for the office & a team of folks in the General Assembly committed to get it done!
I was proud to join not only the resident physicians and other healthcare providers, but also so many Rhode Ispanders, including @jilld.bsky.social, @msanchezpvd.bsky.social, @mackdistrict6.bsky.social
RI Energy is proposing steep rate hikes. We can’t afford to let them keep running our energy policy.
Steve Ahlquist@steveahlquist.bsky.social · 2mo ago@sueanderbois.bsky.social for Lieutenant Governor: How I plan to take on the utilities on Day 1 “For too long, we have allowed an out-of-state company to control our electric and gas systems for the benefit of their shareholders. It’s time to put the power back in the hands of Rhode Islanders.”
Fixed! Online access is now available.

Today, the Department of Public Works is on Sessions Street installing temporary speed humps. Along with other neighbors, I’m glad to know that traffic will be calmer and that we can cross the street to Sessions Street Park more safely. Thanks for coming out on a Saturday to get this done, DPW!
Can’t express what a big outcome this is—Rhode Island keeps its climate and clean energy targets. This was a bad faith panicked effort to gut our decades of efforts on this issue. The transition is needed, those who do it will benefit. www.canarymedia.com/articles/ene...

TONIGHT 6/8 5:30 pm: The Ways & Means Committee will hold a 2nd public hearing in City Council Chambers, 3rd floor, City Hall. All are welcome to share thoughts on the FY27 PVD budget. If you can't join in person, you may submit written public comments by emailing cityclerk@providenceri.gov.
As a state, we have allowed the utility - an out of state corporation - to basically run our energy policy for too long. Residents & small businesses are struggling with sky rocketing prices, while the utility convinces govt leaders to roll back investments in energy efficiency & clean energy.
WPRI 12@wpri12.bsky.social · 4mo agoFor Kendra LaFreniere, trying to pay off her utility debt has felt like shooting at a moving target. Here's why: https://www.wpri.com/news/local-news/northwest/mom-struggles-to-keep-lights-on-after-being-kicked-from-ri-energy-repayment-plan/
The City Council invites the public to comment on the proposed budget on May 4 at 5:30 pm in the City Council Chamber, third floor of City Hall. If you would like to share your thoughts in writing, submit testimony at this link: council.providenceri.gov/testimony by 3:00 pm on Friday, May 1.

"The right size for RIPTA is the size where a bus comes when you need it, and promptly delivers you to the place you need to go." Thank you for this, @dariaphoebe.com!
Right-sizing RIPTA is the wrong move • Rhode Island Current
The Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority’s diminished size after last fall's service cuts is not big enough for everyday Rhode Islanders.
