After months of feedback from residents, the city of Providence has released a draft of a new Comprehensive Plan. Metro Reporter Olivia Ebertz tells us what it means for residents and their neighborhoods. And the Rhode Island Senate has approved a bill that would require gun owners to safely store firearms when not in use. It’s one of 19 pieces of gun safety legislation the General Assembly is considering this year. We talk with Melissa Carden, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Gun Violence. Also, homelessness is showing no signs of slowing in the Ocean State. This spring, a new project will provide temporary housing for 45 people in need of shelter. We hear from Laura Jaworski, Executive Director of House of Hope, a Warwick-based nonprofit partnering with the state on the project. And a new show from the Wilbury Theatre Group uses puppetry to tell the story of an international adoptee. Plus: a look back on the week in politics with WPRI Channel 12 Politics Editor Ted Nesi, and a few tips on what to do this week.
