Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza PHOTO: GoLocal Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza’s plan for a $704 million bond issue to use to bring the city’s pension system to 65 percent funded from its current scary level of about 25 percent makes a lot of sense in today’s low-interest-rate environment. The plan would include the option to refinance the loan if circumstances warrant.   But the Rhode Island General Assembly needs to act fast in the waning days of this session to approve it. Interest rates will rise.   This might be a way to avoid municipal bankruptcy, though some would argue that such a nuclear explosion is needed – to wipe the slate clean of irresponsible labor contracts and other deals going back decades that have long held back the city’s ability to address important physical-infrastructure and social needs. In any event, the Elorza plan seems reasonable and careful in current circumstances.

GoLocalProv | Whitcomb: Hackerama; Reusing Old Buildings; Big Name for Mid-Size Airport

Hackerspaid $5M The Colonial Pipeline crisis is, of course, a reminder of the vulnerability of our aging physical infrastructures to cyberattacks, some of them by such governmental enemies as Putin’s Russia, others by criminal gangs working with the knowledge and cooperation of such dictatorships, be they Russia, China, North Korea or Iran (all of whom work in varying degrees to weaken the West.)   The Colonial mess, exacerbated by panic buying in some places, which has caused gas stations in some areas to go dry, reminds me of why I like living in cities, where you can walk to most services if you must. Fossil-fuel crises tend to be particularly painful in the suburbs and beyond, where frequent, even daily, driving is unavoidable.
