Even as Rhode Island lawmakers exhale after Thursday s session-ending vote-a-rama, attention is already turning to unfinished business and a special back-to-school General Assembly session sometime after Labor Day.   
The headline topic this fall, beyond the Senate confirming judges, is to settle the long-burning issue of marijuana legalization. 
But there are more many more issues that people on Smith Hill have been working on that could return when the weather gets colder.

More than a month after the vote and after nearly every state has certified its results, Rhode Island s elected Republicans can t, or won t, say.
The Journal asked all 13 Republican members of the General Assembly, and the two representatives elected last month, who won the presidential contest that consumed the nation all year and whether there was widespread voter fraud in 2020. ....
